笑話原文】
Hire A Bodygaurd
When my new job required me to transport valuables, I decided I needed a gun for protection. Since I knew next to nothing about firearms, I joined a pistol club. After watching and evaluating my technique for a few weeks, the instructor pulled me aside.
“Are you open to a suggestion?” he asked.
“Absolutely,” I replied.
“Hire a bodyguard,” he said.
中文譯文】
雇一個(gè)保鏢吧
我的新工作需要我運(yùn)送一些貴重物品。我覺得我應(yīng)該有一支槍來保護(hù)自己。由于我對(duì)武器幾乎一竅不通，就參加了一個(gè)手槍俱樂部。教員對(duì)我的技能觀察和評(píng)價(jià)了幾個(gè)星期之后，把我叫到一邊。他問我：“你愿意聽聽我的建議嗎?”
我說：“當(dāng)然。”
他說：“雇一個(gè)保鏢吧。”
