外国最新英语幽默笑话精粹25:美女上班 (中英)
A blonde who had been unemployed for several months got a job with Public Works. She was to paint lines down the center of a rural road. The supervisor told her that she was on probation and that she must stay at or above the set average of 2 miles per day to remain employed. The blonde agreed to the conditions and started right away.
一个已经几个月没有工作的金发女郎,找到了一份公共工程建设的工作。她要给一条乡村公路的中央画线。监工告诉她,在试用期她必须保证每天刷两英里或两英里以上才能保住工作。这个金发女郎同意马上开始工作。
The supervisor checked up at the end of the day and found that she had completed four miles on her first day, double the average! "Great ,”he told her, "I think you are really going to work out.”The next day,however, he was disappointed to find that the blonde only did two miles. The supervisor thought,"She is still above the average. I should not discourage her. I'd better keep silence first.” In the third day, the blonde only did one mile and the boss thought, "I need to talk to her before this gets any worse.”
监工当天检查时发现她第一天完成了四英里,是平均量的两倍!“很好!”监工告诉她,“我想你会干得很出色。”但是第二天,他失望地发现女郎只完成了两英里。监工想:“她还在平均量以上,我还不能打击她,我先要保持沉默。”第三天,金发女郎只刷了一英里,老板想:“在她干得更差之前我得跟她谈谈。”
The boss talked to the new employee and said, "You were doing so great. The first day you did four miles, the second day two miles, but yesterday you only did one mile. Is there a problem? What’s keeping you from meeting the two-mile minimum?" The blonde replied, "Well, each day I keep getting farther and farther away from the paint bucket.”
老板对这个新雇员说:“第一天你干得那么好,刷了四英里,第二天两英里,但昨天你只刷了一英里。有什么问题吗?什么让你连两英里的限度也到不了?”女郎回答:“因为我离油漆桶一天比一天远。”
