第24單元 熱狗
Two people immigrate to America. On their first daythey are wandering around New York City. Aftermany hours of sightseeing both people are hungry.They then come up to a street vendor selling hotdogs.
有兩個人移民到美國,第一天便在紐約市內(nèi)到處閑逛。逛了幾個小時,兩人都餓了,便想去賣熱狗的路邊攤買東西吃。
One says to the other in a shocked tone, "My God.Do they eat dogs in America?"
其中一個人口氣驚訝地對另一個說:“我的天,美國有在吃狗肉啊?”
"I don't know!" says the other, equally appalled.
“我不知道耶!”另一個人同樣驚訝地說道。
"Well," says the first, "We're going to be Americans, so we must do as they do."
“那么,”第一個人說:“既然我們要當(dāng)美國人,那就得入鄉(xiāng)隨俗才行。”
They approach the vendor bravely. "Two hot dogs, plaese."
他們于是鼓起勇氣來到攤販前面說:“要兩只熱狗。”
The vendor hands them their food in a pair of paper sacks. The two immigrants sit on a parkbunch to eat their lunch. One looks inside his sack, hesitates and turns to his partner andsays, "Uh, which part of the dog did you get?"
小販用兩個紙簍各裝一支熱狗給他們,這兩個新來的移民便去公園長椅上坐下來準(zhǔn)備吃午餐。其中一個人看了一下紙袋里面的東西,猶豫了一會兒,轉(zhuǎn)頭對他的同伴說:“嗯,你拿到的是狗的哪個部位?”
