【笑話原文】

I Want to Get out of Here

I was reviewing my client’s case with him in prison when it was announced that visitors had 15 minutes to leave or be locked in for the three-hour prisoner head count. I bade my client farewell and left. But somehow, I managed to get lost my way out. Desperate for directions to exit, I noticed some men wearing orange jumpsuits. I called out to one of them, a no-neck, barrel-chested man. “Sir,” I said, “I want to get out of here.” He shrugged. “So do I.”

【中文譯文】

我想要從這里出去

我正在監(jiān)獄里和我的委托人一起仔細(xì)討論他的案情，有通知說(shuō)探訪者必須在15分鐘之內(nèi)離開(kāi)，否則在查點(diǎn)犯人人數(shù)的三個(gè)小時(shí)期間不能出去。我向委托人告了別，就離開(kāi)了?？墒?，不知怎么的就迷路了。情急之下，看見(jiàn)幾個(gè)穿著桔色連衫褲的男子，就喊其中一個(gè)膀大腰圓的男子：“先生，我想要從這里出去。”他聳了聳肩說(shuō)：“我也想。”
