幽默笑話精粹59：一只勇敢的豬

我小時(shí)候住在華盛頓，爸爸常常帶著我們到南部的卡羅萊納州去度周末，在那里我們看到了“真正的生活”是什么樣子。爸爸會(huì)沿路開著車，然后把車停到路邊的農(nóng)場(chǎng)去和那里的人聊天。

I lived in DC when I was young，and dad used to take us on weekend trips south into the Carolina, so that we could see what "real life" was like. He'd just drive along the road for a while, and then pull over at some farm and start talking to the people there.

爸爸和一個(gè)農(nóng)婦聊天的時(shí)候我發(fā)現(xiàn)了這只豬……

Dad was chatting up a farmer's wife once，when I discovered this pig. . .

它是一只漂亮的豬。但是它只有三條腿。右后腿是木頭做的!我對(duì)這個(gè)很好奇，于是就問那個(gè)農(nóng)民:

It was a nice pig. But it only had three legs. The right back leg was wooden! Well、I was as curious as could he，so I asked the farmer:

“先生，為什么你的豬有一只木頭腿?”

"Excuse me. sir. Why does your pig have a wooden leg?”

“是這樣的，孩子。這是一只勇敢的豬。一天深夜當(dāng)我和妻子在房里睡覺的時(shí)候，這只豬跑進(jìn)來把我們都叫醒。我們這才發(fā)現(xiàn)是著火了。我們因此得以生還。”

"Well, boy. What is a courageous pig. The wife and me were asleep in the house one night，when that pig came running in and woke us up. The whole place was ablaze. We just got out alive.”

“這只豬的腿是在著火的時(shí)候被燒壞的嗎?”

"And the pig got its leg burned up in the fire?"

“不是，它完好地跑了出去。事實(shí)上，它還沖進(jìn)火場(chǎng)救了我們的孩子。”

"Nope. Pig got out just fine. Matter of fact, he even went back in and saved the kids.”

“那么這只豬為什么會(huì)有只木頭腿呢?”

“Then why does the pig have a wooden 1eg?”

“我告訴你了，孩子。那是一只勇敢的豬!一只英雄豬!是它救了我們?nèi)业拿?”

“I told you，boy. That is a BRAVE pig! A heroic pig! That pig saved our lives!”

“是的，先生。但是為什么它有只木頭腿呢?”

"Yes，sir. But why does he have a wooden leg?"

“孩子，像這樣的一只豬我們是舍不得一次把它全部吃掉的!”

"Boy, a pig like that，you don’t eat all in one sitting!”
