英语幽默小故事带翻译: Help for two 两全齐美(中英双语)
12.Help for two
12·两全齐美
Early one morning, my next-door neighbor set to work with a power hedge-trimmer. He was half through the job when a neighbor appeared,still in his pajamas. He was carrying his own power clipper and offered his help, which was gratefully accepted. When the job was done, my neighbor thanked his benefactor,commenting that it had been "a real neighborly act".
一天清晨,我隔壁的邻居在用一个电动剪修机修草坪。当他干到一半儿的时侯,另一个邻居也来了。他仍穿着睡衣,手里拿着他自家的电动剪修机,说是来帮忙的。这个要求当然不会被拒绝了。活干完时,我那位受益的都居对他表示了谢意,还评论说:“这才是真正的部居。”
"Don't mention it,“replied the other man. "I figured,by helping you,it would only take half as long and I could get back to sleep!"
另一个邻居却说:“不用客气。我算了一下,帮你一个忙,可以节省一半时间,然后我还能回去睡觉。”
