我是領(lǐng)班

I was the foreman

Peter was telling a friend that he had just lost his job.

"Why did the foreman fire you?" the friend asked in surprise.

"Oh," Peter said, "you know how foreman are.

They stand around with their hands in their pockets watching everybody else work."

"We all know that," replied his friend. "But why did he let you go?"

"Jealousy," answered Pete. "All the other workers thought I was the foreman."
皮特告訴他的朋友他剛剛丟掉了工作。
“為什么領(lǐng)班會(huì)開(kāi)除你？”朋友詫異地問(wèn)。
“哦，”皮特說(shuō)，“你知道領(lǐng)班是什么樣的人。他們總是把手插在口袋了，站在旁邊看其他人工作。”
“我們知道是這樣。”朋友回答說(shuō)。“但是為什么他會(huì)讓你走？”
“嫉妒。”皮特回答。“其他所有的工人都認(rèn)為我是領(lǐng)班。”
