美國流行笑話：Renaissance 文藝復興

168　Renaissance 文藝復興

I was in line at the souvenir booth of a Renaissance fair when a man asked the clerk, “Do you sell sunglasses?” The clerk answered in her best fake old English, “Colored bits of glass suspended before the eyes were not invented until after the Renaissance, so those are not goods we purvey.” As he began to turn away, ye old Renaissance clerk added, “But we do carry baseball caps with our logo on them.”
我在文藝復興展覽會的紀念品攤桌前排隊。一位男子問售貨員：“你們賣太陽眼鏡嗎？”售貨員用她最好的贗品古英語回答說：“掛在眼鏡前面的兩片彩色玻璃是一直到文藝復興以后才發(fā)明的。所以，它們不是我們供應的商品。”那個男子剛要走開，那位老文藝復興售貨員說：“不過我們出售印有我們商標的棒球帽。”
