袋鼠与笼子

(Kangaroos and the Cage)

One day the staff members of a zoo called a meeting to discuss the problem--how to deal with the kangaroos that were found out of the cage. They came to the conclusion that the cage was placed too low and decided to raise it from one to two meters high. But the next day the kangaroos were still at large and they again raised the cage to three meters.

有一天，动物园的管理员们发现袋鼠从笼子里跑出来了， 于是开会讨论，一致认为是笼子的高度过低，所以他们决定将笼子的高度由原来的1米加高到2米。结果第二天他们发现，袋鼠还是跑到外面来，所以他们又决定再将高度加高到3米。

Quite beyond their expectation the next morning they saw the kangaroos still free to go about. They were alarmed and determined to go to all the length by raising the cage to the height of ten meters.

没想到隔天居然又看到袋鼠全跑到外面，于是管理 员们大为紧张，决定一不做二不休，将笼子的高度加高到10米。

Later a giraffe, while chatting with some kangaroos, asked them, “Do you think they will go on raising your cage?”

一天，长颈鹿和几只袋鼠在闲聊，“你们看，这些人 会不会再继续加高你们的笼子?”长颈鹿问。

“Hard to say,” said a kangaroo, “if they continue forgetting to fasten the cage door.”

“很难说。”袋鼠说，“如果他们再继续忘记关门的话!”

老虎来了

Two guys were walking through the jungle. All of a sudden, a tiger appears from a distance, running towards them. One of the guys takes out a pair of "Nikes" from his bag and starts to put them on. The other guy with a surprised look and exclaims, "Do you think you will run faster than the tiger with those?" His friend replies: "I don't have to out run it, I just have to run faster than you."

两个男人正在穿过丛林，突然，一只老虎出现在远处，向他们冲来。 其中的一个人从包里拿出一双“耐克”鞋，开始穿上。另一个人惊奇地看着他说，“你以为穿上这个就可以跑得过老虎吗?” 他的朋友回答道：“我不用跑得过它，我只要跑得比你快就行了。”

野鸭猎人的狗

An avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would believe him.

一位贪婪的鸭子猎手想在市场上买只新的捕鸟的狗。当看见一只狗能在水上走路然后抓住鸭子时，他决定：就是它了。这实在是太新奇了，他觉得应该没有哪个朋友会相信他吧。

He decided to try to break the news to his most skeptical friend, inviting him to hunt with him and his new dog. As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by; they fired, and a duck fell.

他首先向一个最容易怀疑的朋友发布了这个消息，带上狗邀请这位朋友和他一同打猎。他们在河岸边等待，突然一群鸭子飞过，他们开枪了，于是有一只野鸭掉了下来。

The dog responded. It did not sink, but instead walked across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet.

狗动起来了。它没有沉下去，而是走在水上去叼鸭子，连爪子都没湿。

The friend saw everything but did not say a single word.

这位朋友目睹了这一切，不发一语。

On the drive home the hunter finally broke the silence, asking, “Well, what do you think of my new dog?”

回家的时候，猎人打破了沉默，问道：“你觉得这只狗怎么样啊?”

The other guy was quiet for a moment, then said, “Can’t swim, huh?”

朋友沉默了一会，说道：“它不会游泳，对吧?”
