相信這個笑話的中文版大家都有聽過，今天我們來欣賞一下英文版好了~
The Cemetery Shortcut
為抄近路走墓地
Two men were walking home after a Halloween party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs.
萬圣節派對過后，兩男人圖個樂呵，打算抄近路穿過墓地回家。
Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows.
走到墓地中央時，他們被從迷霧中傳來的“答、答、答”聲驚嚇到了。
Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.
正當兩人害怕得渾身顫抖時，他們看到是個老頭拿著鐵錘和鑿子，在一塊墓石上鑿著什么。
"Holy cow, Mister," one of them said after catching his breath, "You scared us half to death -- we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?"
“哇塞，先生，”其中一人喘了口氣說，“你把我們嚇得半死啊，我們還以為遇上鬼了呢！那么晚了你在這里做什么？”
"Those fools!" the old man grumbled. "They misspelled my name!"
“那幫白癡！”老頭抱怨道，“他們把我名字拼錯啦！”
【注釋】
1. Just for laughs 這個俗語在不同情況下，它的意思略有不同。
其一，它可以解釋為：做某件事純屬為了高興，例如：
Come on and get your jacket -- let's go out and have a couple of beers just for laughs.
來吧，穿上你的外套，我們到外面去喝兩杯啤酒高興高興。
另外，just for laughs 有時也可以指做愚蠢的事或有害的事，例如：
Just for laughs they tossed Mary in the swimming pool with all her clothes on. Then they found out she didn't know how to swim.
就是為了開玩笑，他們把瑪麗連衣服帶鞋的整個扔進了游泳池，結果他們發現，瑪麗根本不會游泳。
2. 笑話中出現了一個"Holy cow"，它是什么意思呢？來看維基上的解釋："Holy cow!" is an exclamation of surprise used mostly in American and Canadian English. 原來它是一個表達驚訝的感嘆詞，多用于美國和加拿大。
