bodyguard保鏢，pistol手槍，evaluate評(píng)估

笑話原文】

Hire A Bodygaurd

When my new job required me to transport valuables, I decided I needed a gun for protection. Since I knew next to nothing about firearms, I joined a pistol club. After watching and evaluating my technique for a few weeks, the instructor pulled me aside.

“Are you open to a suggestion?” he asked.

“Absolutely,” I replied.

“Hire a bodyguard,” he said.

中文譯文】

雇一個(gè)保鏢吧

我的新工作需要我運(yùn)送一些貴重物品。我覺(jué)得我應(yīng)該有一支槍來(lái)保護(hù)自己。由于我對(duì)武器幾乎一竅不通，就參加了一個(gè)手槍俱樂(lè)部。教員對(duì)我的技能觀察和評(píng)價(jià)了幾個(gè)星期之后，把我叫到一邊。他問(wèn)我：“你愿意聽(tīng)聽(tīng)我的建議嗎?”

我說(shuō)：“當(dāng)然。”

他說(shuō)：“雇一個(gè)保鏢吧。”
