英漢雙語笑話:Speed Limit 速度限制
speed limit
the british raf base where i was stationed as part of a contingent of usaf personnel had one narrow road winding through the crowded residential area. after a rash of minor vehicle pedestrian accidents, the usaf commander decided to reduce the speed limit to three m.p.h.
shortly after the new limit was posted, an mp sergeant issued a speeding citation to a jeep driver for going five m.p.h. i was curious to know how the mp had determined the jeep's speed so exactly. "i was jogging to get to the px before it closed," he explained, "and as i passed the jeep, i noticed that the speedometer read five m.p.h."
速度限制
我作為美國空軍人員分遣部隊的一員駐扎在英國皇家空軍某某地,那里有一條狹窄的馬路蜿蜒穿過擁擠的居民區(qū)。因為多次出現(xiàn)汽車撞傷行人一類不甚嚴(yán)重的車禍,美國空軍司令員決定將車速限制在每小時三英里。
