名人笑話：3、 Who's on vacation? 是誰(shuí)度假

3. Who's on vacation?

Albert Einstein was walking to a train station with two friends at his sides. Because the train was delayed1, the three of them sat down for a cup of coffee. And then they also drank some alcohol2.

After a while they forgot all about the train. So they drank and talked, and talked and drank. But then they heard the final announcement that the train was leaving so the three got up and ran. And Einstein had drunk too much and fell a little behind and couldn't catch up with his friends. The other two caught the train and went away with it.

Then Einstein stopped there and laughed and laughed again. Everyone around him began to look at him and said, "What are you laughing at? You missed the train, you know?"

And Einstein said, "Yeah, Yeah, I know I missed the train, but I'm laughing at my two friends because they had supposedly just come to see me off!"

Notes:

1. delay 推遲

2. alcohol 酒精，烈酒
