赖世雄读英语笑话学英语之英语乐趣(5):一次特别的伤风感冒(双语)
unit 5 an uncommon cold 一次特别的伤风感冒
on a rainy, miserable day, the funeral procession was climbing the steep hill to the cemetery, when suddenly the rear door of the hearse broke open and the coffin slid out.
一个阴雨、悲惨的日子,有列送葬队伍正沿着陡峭的山路向墓地前进,这时突然间灵车的后门破开,棺材滑出车外。
to the horror of the mourners, the casket hurtled down the hill, scattering motorists and pedestrians. at tremendous speed it leaped onto the sidewalk and barreled into a drugstore. it crashed into the counter and the lid flew open.
令哀悼者大感惊恐的是,棺材滑下山坡,冲散了汽车和行人,接着它以高速冲上人行道并滚进一家药房,最后棺材撞到了柜台里面,盖子则崩开了。
“for heaven’s sake,” said the corpse to the astonished pharmacist, “give me something to stop this coffin.”
“看在老天的分上,”棺木中的尸体向惊魂未定的药剂师说道:“给我一点东西把棺材停止下来。”
