雙語笑話：悲劇

Tragedy

Once Mr．President visited an elementary school to talk to a group of third graders．He said to them，“Today we are going to discuss the difference between a tragedy，a great loss and an accident．”Then he said，“Can anyone give me an example of a tragedy？”A little boy raised his hand and said，“If a kid runs out in the street after a ball and gets hit by a car．”Mr．President said，“No，that would be an accident．Can anyone else try？”A little girl raised her hand and said，“If a busload of kids drove off a cliff．”Mr．President said，“No，that would be a great loss．Come on，anyone else？”A boy raised his hand and said，“If you and Mrs．President were on a plane and it blew up．”Then Mr．President said，“Well，Yes，but can you tell me why it would be considered a tragedy？”And the little boy said，“Well，it wouldn’t have been an accident，and it sure as heck wouldn’t have been a great loss．”

悲劇

一次，總統(tǒng)先生來到一所小學(xué)參觀，他和一群三年級的學(xué)生進行了一場對話。他對學(xué)生們說：“今天，我們來討論一下悲劇、重大損失和意外事故的區(qū)別?！比缓笥纸又f：“誰能給我舉個關(guān)于悲劇的例子？”一個小男孩舉手說：“如果有個小孩因為追球跑到街上被車撞了?！笨偨y(tǒng)先生說：“不，那叫意外事故。還有誰說說看？”一個小女孩舉手說：“如果一輛滿載著孩子們的公共汽車掉下了懸崖?！笨偨y(tǒng)先生說：“不，那叫重大損失。還有誰再說說？”有個男孩舉手說：“如果您和您夫人正在飛機上，飛機卻爆炸了。”總統(tǒng)先生聽后說：“對，是的，那么你能告訴我為什么你認(rèn)為這是悲劇呢？”小男孩說道：“哦，這肯定不是意外事故，并且也肯定沒有造成重大損失。”
