那些妙趣橫生的英語幽默故事
Skinny dipping
裸泳
One day Jimmy went down to the pond for a dip, but before he could dive in he spied his teacher,Mrs. Smith,emerging from nude bathing. When Mrs. Smith saw Jimmy,she grabbed the nearest object - which happened to be an old wooden box - and held it in front of her.
有一天吉米去池塘游泳,但在他躍入水里前看到他的老師史密斯小姐正從裸泳中冒出頭來。當史密斯小姐看到吉米時,她趕緊抓過離自己最近的一件東西——碰巧是一個舊的木盒子,擋在自己前面。
"Young man,I know what you're thinking," she said.
對他說:“年輕人,我知道你在想什么。”
"And I know what you're thinking,"replied Jimmy. "You're thinking that box has a bottom on it!"
“我也知道你在想什么,”吉米答道,“你一定以為這個盒子是有底的!”
