hurry催促,prohibit禁止
【笑話原文】
All Right
Hurrying my 11-year old daughter to school, I made a right turn at a red light when it was prohibited. “Uh-oh,” I said, realizing my mistake. “I just make an illegal turn.”
“I guess it's all right,” my daughter replied, “The police car behind us did the same thing.”
【中文譯文】
警車也違章了
我趕著開車將11歲的女兒送到學(xué)校去,在紅燈處右拐了,而那是不允許的(譯注:在一些國家如英國,其交通規(guī)則是車輛左行的,與我國相反)。啊噢,意識到犯了錯誤,我說。我剛才拐彎是違章的。 我想那沒關(guān)系的,女兒回答說:我們后面的警車也同樣拐了彎。
