賴世雄讀英語笑話學英語之不帶顏色的通俗笑話(9)：同病相憐(雙語)
Unit 9 We’re in the Same Boat 同病相憐
The young man was terribly self-conscious because he had a wooden eye. His friends would often invite him dance parties, but he could never work up the courage to ask a girl to dance.
一位年輕人因為他有只木制的眼睛而感到非常自卑。他的朋友常會邀請他參加舞會，但他從沒能鼓起勇氣邀請女孩子跳舞。
But then, one evening, he spotted a girl with a wooden leg sitting sadly by herself. Apprehensively, he walked up to her and asked, “Would you like to dance?”
有一晚，他卻不經意看見一位裝了一只木制義肢的女孩獨自傷心地坐在角落。他很謹慎地走向她問道“：你要不要跳舞呀？”
“Would I?!”she exclaimed.
“我要不要？”她驚叫。
“Oh, yeah? Well, you’ve got a wooden leg!”
“哦，怎么了 ？你有一只木制的義肢——（而我有一只木制的假眼，咱們應是天生的一對嘛?。?。”
