第17單元 會說話的母牛
A man from the city was driving down a country roadwhen his car stalled near a cow field.
有個城市來的人開著車徜徉在鄉(xiāng)間小路上,經(jīng)過一座母牛場的車子卻拋錨了。
The driver, getting out to see what was the matter,noticed one of the cows looking at him. "I believe it'syour radiator," said the cow.
司機下車查看哪里出問題時,注意到有只母牛在看著他。“我想問題出在散熱器。”那只母牛說道。
The man nearly jumped right out of his city slicker britches! He ran to a farm house andknocked on the door. "A cow just gave me advice about my car!" he shouted.
這個人差點沒從身上穿的那件時髦馬褲中跳出來!他跑向農(nóng)舍,邊敲門邊大喊著:“有只母牛剛指點我車子哪里出故障!”
The farmer nonchalantly learned out beyond the doorframe to glance down the field. "The cowwith big black spots on it?" the farmer asked slowly.
農(nóng)夫冷冷地靠在門框后,把農(nóng)場打量了一遍。"是那只身上有兩個大黑斑的母牛嗎?"農(nóng)夫慢悠悠問道。
"Yes! Yes! That's the one!" the excited man replied.
“沒錯!沒錯!就是那只!”激動的男子回答道。
"Oh, Well. That's Ethel." the farmer said, turning back to the man. "Don't pay any attention toher. She doesn't know a thing about cars."
“哎呀,那是艾瑟兒啦,”農(nóng)夫轉(zhuǎn)頭對那人說道:“不要理她,她對車子根本一竅不通。”
