外国最新英语幽默笑话精粹154:错误的警告(中英)
Years ago while attending a dinner party hosted by some friends of mine the hostess served a meal with this delicious mushroom sauce. After the meal there was a small amount left over and the hostess decided to allow her pregnant cat to enjoy the treat as well as the guests. The guests all felt it was a great gesture and showed the cat was a member of the family.
几年前我参加一个朋友举行的晚餐聚会,女主人用自己做的美味的蘑菇沙司来招待我们。吃过饭后,还剩了一些沙司,所以女主人决定让她那怀孕的猫也像客人一样享受这美味。所有的客人都觉得,这个举动显示了那只猫就像是家里的一名成员一样。
The sauce was the highlight of the evening' s topic of conversation,everyone commented on how delicious it was,and the hostess beamed at all the compliments. One of the guest commented that toadstools were much like mushrooms except for being toxic,and how funny it would be if such a cultnary treat were made from that instead.
美味的沙司成了最受欢迎的话题,每个人都在说那沙司有多好吃。女主人也因为别人的夸奖而露出了微笑。一个客人说伞菌除了有毒性以外和蘑菇很相似,如果用它来招待大家那可是太滑稽了。
As if on cue,the pet cat started crying and squirming on the floor, clutching its bel1y. The hostess exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's the mushroom sauce!”
就像是给了暗示一样,那只宠物猫开始在地上又叫又滚,还挠自己的肚子。女主人说:“噢,上帝呀,它吃的是蘑菇沙司呀!”
We all went to the emergency room in a mad rush, and had our stomachers pumped after telling them we had eaten poisonous mushrooms. This was an extremely unpleasant experience.
我们这些客人一下子都去了急诊室,在告诉医生我们吃了毒蘑菇以后我们都被洗了胃。这真是一件令人不愉快的经历。
We got back,the cat was lying on the floor peacefully looking up at us, and had given birth to kittens.
当我们回来后,那只猫平静的躺在地板上看着我们,它生小猫了!
