英語(yǔ)笑話

961　Burnt Mattress 燒焦的床墊

Sitting through fire safety and prevention programs can make anyone nod off. So the instructor tried to lighten the mood by going around the room asking where all the guests were from. “Burnt Mattress, Arkansas,” called out the friend sitting next to me. “Burnt Mattress!” said the instructor, suppressing a laugh. “I've heard some unusual town names before, but never that one. Where's it located?” My friend shot back, “Right above Hot Springs.”

坐在那里聽(tīng)用火安全和預(yù)防火災(zāi)課程是很容易打瞌睡的。老師為了讓大家清醒，就讓學(xué)員們輪流講講自己是從哪里來(lái)的。坐在我旁邊的老兄說(shuō)：“我從阿肯色州伯恩特·梅特來(lái)斯（燒焦的床墊）來(lái)。”老師忍住了大笑說(shuō)：“燒焦的床墊！我以前聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)一些不尋常的城市名字，不過(guò)從來(lái)沒(méi)聽(tīng)見(jiàn)過(guò)這個(gè)。它在哪里？”我旁邊的老兄大喊說(shuō)：“就在浩特·斯普林（熱的彈簧墊）上面。”（注：彈簧床墊分上下兩層，上面一層叫mattress，下面一層叫springs box。）
