【笑話原文】

The Goldfish Is inside Your Cat 金魚在貓咪的肚子里

Little Amy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the fence.

Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was doing, he politely asked, "What are you up to there, Amy?"

"My goldfish died," replied Amy tearfully, without looking up, "and I've just buried him."

The neighbor was concerned, "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?"

Amy patted down the last heap of earth then replied, "That's because he's inside your cat."

【中文譯文】

小艾米正在花園里填一個坑，這時，她的鄰居隔著籬笆看見了。

鄰居很好奇這個胖嘟嘟的小家伙在干什么，于是禮貌地問：“艾米，你在那兒忙些什么呀?”

“我的金魚死了，”艾米頭也不抬地哽咽道，“我剛剛把它埋了。”

鄰居困惑地說：“這個坑對于一條金魚來說也太大了吧，對不?”

艾米輕輕拍了拍最后一捧土并回答：“那是因為金魚在你貓咪的肚子里!”

【詞匯講解】

1.peer vi.凝視，注視。不及物動詞，因此要加上介詞over?？梢愿鶕?jù)不同的情況加不同的介詞，如：he peered through a crack in the door.他通過門縫瞇眼看。

2.interested in 對什么感興趣，后面加名詞或動名詞

3. youngster 年輕人，小孩，有時也指小動物

4. what are you up to there? 非?？谡Z化，和what are you doing 是一個意思，你在忙些什么?be up to 有時也表示進展的意思，如：what are you up to? 你(的事情)進展怎么樣了?

5. replied Amy tearfully 使用了倒裝，把動詞置于主語前，使短文的句子結構更豐富

6.awfully也是個很口語化的詞，表示非常的意思，置于形容詞前，例如：I’m awfully sorry我感到十分抱歉
