初學者愛上英語幽默小笑話09:上帝失蹤了(中英)
9.God Is Missing
上帝失蹤了
There were two brothers who were always up to some mischief. If somebody had been locked up in his house, or if somebody's dog had been painted green, one always knew who the culprits were-the brothers. One day the boys' mother asked a priest to talk to her sons and put the fear of God in them so that they would mend their ways. The priest asked her to send her sons to him one at a time. When the younger boy came, he made him sit and asked him: "Where is God?" The boy did not answer. The priest asked again, in a louder voice: "Where is God?" The boy remained silent. But when the priest asked the same question for a third time, the boy jumped up and ran away. He went straight to his brother. "We are in big trouble!" he gasped. "What's wrong'?" asked the older boy, warily, wondering which of their sins had caught up with them. "God is missing," said the youngster, "and they think we have something to do with it!"
有兩兄弟總是搞惡作劇。如果有人被鎖在自己的房子里,或者誰家的狗被漆成了綠色,人們總知道誰是罪魁禍首—兄弟倆。一天,男孩的母親請牧師和她的兒子們談談,讓他們對上帝感到敬畏,以便他們能改善他們的行為。牧師叫她把兩兄弟一個一個地送過來。年幼一些的孩子過來了,牧師讓他坐下,問他:“上帝在哪里?”男孩沒有回答。牧師又問,這次聲音更大了:“上帝在哪里?”男孩仍然保持沉默。當牧師第三次問同樣的問題時,男孩跳起來跑走了。他直奔向他的哥哥。“我們有大麻煩了!”他喘著氣說。“你怎么了?”年長的男孩謹慎地問,想知道到底因為他們做的哪件壞事人們要逮捕他倆。“上帝不見了,”弟弟說,“他們認為這事和我們有關!”
