英語笑話——父母的東西
笑話是日常生活中人們消遣娛樂的一種常見語言現象,其目的在於在會話過程中傳遞和激發幽默感。
When Peter is 17, he is as tall as his father. So he begins toborrow his father’s clothes when he wants to go out with his friends in the evening. Father doesn’t like this. And he always gets very angry when he finds his son wearing any of his things.
One evening when Peter is about to go out,his father stops him in the living room. He looks at Peter’s clothes very carefully. Then he says angrily, “Isn’t that one of my ties, Peter?”
皮特17歲的時候，長得和父親一樣高了。於是，當他晚上和朋友一起出去時，就開始借父親的衣服穿。可是這位父親可不喜歡這樣，當他發現他的兒子穿他的衣服時，總是非常生氣。
一天晚上，皮特准備出去，父親在客廳裏攔住了他。父親細細打量着皮特的穿着。然後氣呼呼的說着;“皮特，那不是我的領帶嗎?”
“Yes, Father, it is,” answers Peter.
“And that shirt is mine, too.”
皮特回答說：“是的，父親，是您的領帶。”
“還有那襯衫也是我的。”
“Yes, that’s your, too.” answers Peter.
“And you’re wearing my belt!”
“是的，襯衫也是您的。”皮特回答說。
“還有呢，你連皮帶也用我的。”父親說。
“Yes, I am, father,” answers Peter, “You don’t want to your trousers to fall down, do you?”
“是的，父親，”皮特回答說，“您不願意讓您的褲子掉下來吧?”
