roast烤制的，fake偽裝

笑話原文】

Roast Pig

A gentleman was invited for dinner. When he hurried there and sat down, he was happy to see a roast pig in front of his seat: "Not bad, I am next to the pig."

But then he noticed the angry fat lady sitting next to him. He faked a smile and added: "Oh I am sorry, I meant the roasted one on the table."

中文譯文】

烤乳豬

一位先生去赴宴遲到了，匆忙入座后，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的座位正對著乳豬，于是大為高興的說：“還不錯，我坐在乳豬的旁邊。”

這時才發(fā)現(xiàn)身旁的一位胖女士正怒目相視，他忙陪笑改口到：“對不起，我說的是那只烤好的。”
