会说话的钟

一个学生带他朋友们参观他的新公寓,甚是得意。“那个大铜锣和锤子是干什么用的?”他的一个朋友问他。“那玩意儿厉害了,那是一个会说话的钟。”学生回答。“这钟怎么工作的?”他的朋友问。“看着,别眨眼了。”那学生走上前一把操起铜锣和锤子,拼命地敲了一下,声音震耳欲聋。突然,他们听到隔壁墙那边有人狂叫,“别敲了,你这白痴!现在是凌晨两点钟!”

Talking Clock

While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends, a college student led the way into the den. "What is the big brass gong and hammer for?" one of his friends asked. "That is the talking clock." the man replied. "How's it work?"

"Watch," the man said and proceeded to give the gong an ear shattering pound with the hammer. Suddenly, someone screamed from the other side of the wall, "Knock it off, you idiot! It's two o'clock in the morning!"

你认识他吗?

在朋友家的一次宴会上,主人提起一位高中时的校友。一位客人问他读书期间,某位副校长是否也在职。

“当然了,”主人答道。“他是我见过的最大的混蛋。你也认识他吗?”

“有点儿认识,”客人回答。“我妈妈上周六嫁给了他。”

Did You Know Him?

At a dinner party in the home of friends, our host mentioned his high school alma mater. One of the guests asked him if he had been a student there at the same time as a particular vice principal.

"I sure was!" answered the host. "He's the biggest jerk I've ever met. Did you know him too?"

"Sort of," replied the guest. "My mother married him last Saturday."

你是怎样来的?

一个冬天的早晨,一名雇员解释他为什么迟到了45分钟才起来上班。“外面太滑了,我每向前迈一步,就要向后退两步。”

老板狐疑地看着他。“噢,是吗?那你是怎样到这里来的?”

“后来我决定向后转,”他说,“于是我就往家的方向走。”

How Did You Ever Get Here

One winter morning, an employee explained why he had shown up for work 45 minutes late. "It was so slippery out that for every step I took ahead, I slipped back two."

The boss eyed him suspiciously. "Oh, yeah? Then how did you ever get here?"

"I finally gave up," he said, "and started for home."

给妻子的玫瑰

一天晚上回家的路上,我看到一家花店外面有一些刚剪下来的玫瑰。我挑了一打,走进店里,一个年轻的女售货员跟我打了个招呼。

“先生,这些是送给你妻子的吗?”她问道。

“是的。”我说。

“她的生日?”她问。

“不是。”我回答。

“你们的结婚纪念日?”

“不是。”我又答道。

当我将找回的钱装进口袋,朝门口走去时,那年轻的女人冲我喊道:“希望她能原谅你。”

Roses for My Wife

On the way home one night, I spotted some fresh-cut roses outside a florist's shop. After selecting a dozen and entering the shop, I was greeted by a young saleswoman.

"Are these for your wife, sir?" she asked.

"Yes," I said.

"For her birthday?" she asked.

"No," I replied.

"For your anniversary?"

"No," I said again.

As I pocketed my change and headed toward the door, the young woman called out, "I hope she forgives you."

脑筋急转弯:

1. 什么东西的出产期和保质期在同一天?

2. 什么上边是毛,下边是毛,一动就毛贴毛呢?
