雙語幽默笑話：地位轉(zhuǎn)換

地位轉(zhuǎn)換

Barbara Walters filed report on gender roles in Kuwait a few years prior to the Gulf War, and noted then that, traditional Islamic fashion, women customarily walked about 10 feet behind their husbands.

Recently, Barbara returned to Kuwait and observed that the men now walked several yards behind their wives. She approached one of the Kuwaiti women for an explanation.

"This is marvelous," Barbara said, "What enabled women here to achieve their reversal of roles?"

The Kuwaiti woman replied, "Land mines".

海灣戰(zhàn)爭開始的前幾年，芭芭拉.沃斯特對科威特的男女地位進(jìn)行了報道。她當(dāng)時注意到：按照伊斯蘭教的傳統(tǒng)，婦女通常跟在丈夫10英尺遠(yuǎn)的后面。

最近芭芭拉又來到科威特，她發(fā)現(xiàn)，現(xiàn)在男人都走在妻子后面幾碼遠(yuǎn)的地方。她走向一名科威特婦女，希望得到解釋。

芭芭拉說：“這太神奇了，是什么使科威特婦女成功的轉(zhuǎn)換了男女之間的地位呢?”

那名科威特婦女回答道：“是地雷。”
