英語幽默：Mr. Ferdinand's Lunch 費迪南德先生的午餐

One morning Mrs. Ferdinand said to her husband: "Roger, there's a meeting at Mrs. Young's house at lunch time today, and I want to go to it. I'll leave you some food for your lunch. Is that all right?" "Oh, yes." Her husband answered, "That's quite all right. What are you going to leave for my lunch?"

"This tin1 of fish," Mrs. Ferdinand said, "and there are some cold, boiled potatoes and somebeans2 here, too."

"That's good." Mr. Ferdinand said. "I'll have a good lunch." So Mrs. Ferdinand went to her meeting. All the ladies lunched at Mrs. Young's house, and at three o'clock Mrs. Ferdinand came home.

"Was your fish nice, Roger?" She asked.

"Yes, but my feet are hurting." He answered.

"Why are they hurting?" Mrs. Ferdinand asked.

"Well, the words on the tin are 'open tin and stand in hot water for five minutes!'"

一天早晨，費迪南德太太對丈夫說：“羅杰，今天楊太太要在午餐的時候在家里舉辦一個聚會，我打算去參加，我給你準備了些食品當午餐，行嗎?”她的丈夫回答說：“行啊，很好。那你準備了些什么?”

費迪南德太太說：“一罐魚，還有一些冷凍的炸土豆和青豆。”

費迪南德先生說：“真是棒極了，我可以享用一頓美味的午餐了。”說完，費迪南德太太去出席聚會了。周圍所有的太太也都參加了楊太太家的聚會。直到下午三點的時候，費迪南德太太才回到家。

“羅杰，魚好吃嗎?”她問丈夫。

丈夫回答：“好吃，可是我的腳卻弄傷了。”

費迪南德太太問：“怎么弄傷的?”

“你看，罐頭的說明書上寫著：’打開罐頭，在燙水中站立5分鐘’。”
