Jack the playboy had explored every corner of the world and dallied with many women, but in Hong Kong he finally encountered a professional girl who left him far more than fond memories.
花花公子杰克喜欢到世界各地探险,和许多妓女风流,但在香港,他终于遇到一名职业神女,这名神女留给他的不止是温柔的回忆而已。
First, he consulted a British doctor. “God Lord!” exclaimed the medic, “you’ve got more venereal diseases than a medical textbook. I’m afraid we’re going to have to amputate.”
首先他请教了一名英国医生“。我的天啊!”医生叫道“,你所患的性病比一本医学教科书还要丰富,恐怕我们必须把你的东西切除掉。”
Horrified, the playboy sought out an American specialist, who shook his head gravely and said, “Sorry, son; if we don’t amputate your member, the disease will spread to your other organs.”
花花公子心生恐惧,便找了一位美国专科医师帮忙,但那名专科医师表情凝重地摇头说“:对不起,小兄弟,如果我们不切除那活儿,病毒将会感染到其他器官。”
Desperately, the swinger consulted a Chinese herbalist. The wise old man examined the patient carefully and nodded his head sagely. “I know your problem,” he said. “You play with bad girl,she very sick, now you very sick.”
那名风流公子走投无路,便向一位中医请教。这位充满智慧的老先生仔细检查病人后煞有介事地点头说道:“我知道你的问题。你和坏女人乱搞,她的性病很严重,你现在的病情也很严重。”
“Doctor, the British and American doctors told me my pride and joy would have to be cut off...”
“大夫,英国和美国的医生都说我的东西必须要切除……”
“These Western doctors, all they want to do is cut, cut, cut, and charge big money.”
“这些西医所做的就是切,切,切,然后收一大笔钱。”
“You mean I don’t need surgery?!” exclaimed the young man joyously.
“你意思是我可以不用动外科手术?!”年轻人喜出望外地问道。
“Don’t you worry,” said the ancient practitioner. “You go home, relax, wait two, three weeks, pecker fall off by himself.”
“别担心,”老中医师说“:回家去,好好休息一阵,等二三个星期后,那活儿会自己掉下来。”
