英語笑話：登山人

After a week's absence, a mountain man staggered home, clothes torn, shoes worn thin. He was exhausted.

"Where have you been?" asked his wife.

"I went out in the woods to check the still." Replied the mountain man, "and a giant bear stepped out in front of me. I took off running ahead of him and finally lost him. I never ran so fast in my life."

"But that was a week ago." Said the wife. "Where have you been since?"

The mountain man collapsed in a chair. "Walking back."

離開家一個星期后，那個登山人搖搖晃晃地回到了家，他的衣服也破了，鞋底也磨薄了，他本人更是疲憊不堪的樣子。

“你到哪兒去了?”老婆問。

“那天我到森林里去檢查有無無非法釀酒的地方，”登山人敘述著，“忽然一只大熊出現(xiàn)在我的面前，我拔腿就跑，熊就在后面追，好不容易才把它甩掉，我這輩子從來沒有跑這么快。”

“可是那是一周前的事了，”他老婆說：“后來你到哪兒去了?”

登山人癱在在椅子上說：“往回走啊!”
