外国最新英语幽默笑话精粹187：律师和农场主(中英)
A big一city lawyer was representing the railroad in a lawsuit filed by an old rancher. The rancher's prize bull was missing from the section through which the railroad passed. The rancher claimed that the bull must have been hit by the train, and wanted o be paid the fair value of the bull.
一位来自大城市的律师在一桩诉讼案中，代表铁路部门同一位老农场主打官司。这个农场主的牛在有铁路的地方不见了。他说牛一定是被火车撞了，所以要求赔偿买牛的钱。
The case was scheduled to be tried before the justice of the peace in the back room of the general store. As soon as the rancher showed up, the attorney for the railroad pulled him aside and tried to get him to settle out of court. The lawyer did his best selling job, and finally the rancher agreed to take half of what he was asking. After the rancher had signed the release and took the check，the young lawyer couldn’t resist gloating a little over his success，telling the rancher, "You know, I hate to tell you this, old man，but I put one over on you in there. I couldn’t have won the case. The engineer was asleep and the fireman was in the caboose when the train went through your ranch that morning. I didn’t have one witness to put on the stand. I bluffed you!”
案子先要进行公审，才能被送到法庭后面的会议厅里进行讨论。农场主刚一出现，铁路一方的律师就把他拉到了一旁，想进行庭外和解。最后律师尽其所能，说服了农场主，只支付他所要求赔偿的一半。农场主签完了契约，取走了支票以后，年轻的律师为自己的成功感到得意洋洋。他对农场主说:“老头，你知道吗，我本不想告诉你的，刚才我是吓唬你。我本来赢不了这场官司的，那天早晨当火车穿过你的农场附近的时候，司机睡着了，火夫正在餐车里。我根本找不出一个证人。我是吓唬你的。”
The old rancher replied，"Well，I’11 tell you，young Teller, I was a little worried about winning that case myself, because that darned bull came home this morning.”
老农场主说:“我要告诉你，小子，我觉得赢了这场官司，我有一些不安心，因为我那头可爱的牛今天早晨已经回来了。”
