雙語笑話：火車票與工程師

Train Tickets and the Engineers

Three Apple engineers and three Microsoft employees are traveling by train to a conference. At the station，the three Microsoft employees each buy tickets and watch as the three Apple engineers buy only a single ticket. They all board the train. The Microsoft employees take their respective seats but all three Apple engineers cram into a rest room and close the door behind them.

Shortly after the train has departed，the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the rest room door and says，“Ticket，please.”The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes it and moves on. The Microsoft employees see this and agree it is quite a clever idea. So after the conference，the Microsoft employees decide to copy the Apple engineers on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station，they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment，the Apple engineers don’t buy a ticket at all.

When they board the train，the three Microsoft employees cram into a rest room and the three Apple engineers cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward，one of the Apple engineers leaves his rest room and walks over to the rest room where the Microsoft employees are hiding.

He knocks on the door and says，“Ticket，please.”

火車票與工程師

蘋果公司的三個工程師和微軟公司的三個工程師乘同一列火車去開會。在火車站，三個微軟公司的雇員各買了一張票，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)那三個蘋果公司的雇員只買了一張票。他們都上了車。微軟公司的三個雇員坐在各自的位子上，但那三個蘋果公司的雇員卻擠在了一間衛(wèi)生間里，關(guān)上了門。

很快，火車開動了，乘務(wù)員開始驗票。他敲了敲衛(wèi)生間的門說：“查票了，請把票遞出來?！遍T開了一條細(xì)縫，伸出一條胳臂，手里拿著一張票。乘務(wù)員接過票離開了。微軟公司雇員見了都認(rèn)為這是個很聰明的辦法。會議結(jié)束后，微軟公司的雇員們決定在返程的火車上照搬蘋果公司同行們這種省錢的辦、法。他們到了火車站，三個人就買了一張返程的火車票。讓他們感到驚訝的是蘋果公司的工程師竟然一張票也沒買。

上車后，微軟公司的三個雇員擠進(jìn)了一間衛(wèi)生間室，三個蘋果公司的工程師擠進(jìn)了附近的另外一間衛(wèi)生間?；疖囬_動不久，一個蘋果公司的雇員離開衛(wèi)生間室，走到那三個微軟公司雇員藏身的衛(wèi)生間門口。

他敲了敲門，說：“查票了，請把票遞出來?！?
