一個美國游客在以色列打了一輛出租車。使這個美國游客震驚的是,當(dāng)出租車開到紅燈底下的時候,司機(jī)根本沒有減速就直著沖了過去。雖然他很吃驚,但他什么也沒說。他覺得自己是個游客不應(yīng)該找麻煩。
The trip continued without event until the next intersection. This time the light was green and,to the American' s dismay, the cab driver brought the vehicle to a grinding halt. Unable to contain his astonishment, he turns to the driver: "Listen,” he says ,“ when you went through the red light, I didn't say anything. But, why, in heaven’s name,are you stopping at a green light?!”
一切都很順利,直到下一個十字路口。這回是綠燈,可讓美國人驚愕的是那個司機(jī)踩剎車停了下來。他再也憋不住了,就問司機(jī):“我問你,剛才你闖紅燈我什么都沒說,可這回是綠燈為什么你卻停了下來?”
The Israeli driver looks at him as if the American was deranged: "Are you crazy?!” he shouts. "The other guy has a red light一do you want to get us killed?!”
那個以色列司機(jī)看著那美國人,驚訝的喊道:“你瘋了嗎?另一個司機(jī)現(xiàn)在正要闖紅燈,難道你想找死嗎?”
