He tossed three nails on the counter and asked, "Can you put me up for the night? "

The clerk answered,"Sorry，no vacancies, but we have a manger out back."

Notes:

1. Jesus walked into a Hilton Hotel.

耶穌走進一家希爾頓飯店。

Jesus [?d?i:z?s] n.耶穌 Hilton [?hilt?n] n.希爾頓

2. He tossed three nails on the counter and asked, "Can you put me up for the night? "

他向柜臺上丟了三根釘子，并問: “可以讓我住一晚嗎?"

耶穌被三根釘子釘死在十字架(cross)，分別釘在他雙手的手腕(wrist),和雙腳交疊的腳踝(ankle)處。

"put up"在這里有雙重含義，它除了可以表示“舉起、升起”，還有“住宿的意思，如：I put up at the inn last night. 我昨晚住在這家旅館。

toss [t?s] v.扔;投 nail [ne?l] n.釘子 counter [?ka?nt?(r)] n.柜臺

put up 使(某人)住宿 wrist [r?st] n.手腕 ankle [?æ?kl] n.腳踝

3. The clerk answered,"Sorry，no vacancies, but we have a manger out back. ”

這個職員回答：“抱歉，沒有空房間了。但酒店后面有一個馬槽。”

耶穌出生在馬槽內(nèi)，所以如果睡在馬槽，或許他會有賓至如歸的感覺。

vacancy [?ve?k?nsi] n. (飯店)空房間

manger [?me?nd??(r)] n.(喂馬等的)飼料槽
