第17單元 會(huì)說話的母牛
A man from the city was driving down a country roadwhen his car stalled near a cow field.
有個(gè)城市來的人開著車徜徉在鄉(xiāng)間小路上,經(jīng)過一座母牛場的車子卻拋錨了。
The driver, getting out to see what was the matter,noticed one of the cows looking at him. "I believe it'syour radiator," said the cow.
司機(jī)下車查看哪里出問題時(shí),注意到有只母牛在看著他。“我想問題出在散熱器。”那只母牛說道。
The man nearly jumped right out of his city slicker britches! He ran to a farm house andknocked on the door. "A cow just gave me advice about my car!" he shouted.
這個(gè)人差點(diǎn)沒從身上穿的那件時(shí)髦馬褲中跳出來!他跑向農(nóng)舍,邊敲門邊大喊著:“有只母牛剛指點(diǎn)我車子哪里出故障!”
The farmer nonchalantly learned out beyond the doorframe to glance down the field. "The cowwith big black spots on it?" the farmer asked slowly.
農(nóng)夫冷冷地靠在門框后,把農(nóng)場打量了一遍。"是那只身上有兩個(gè)大黑斑的母牛嗎?"農(nóng)夫慢悠悠問道。
"Yes! Yes! That's the one!" the excited man replied.
“沒錯(cuò)!沒錯(cuò)!就是那只!”激動(dòng)的男子回答道。
"Oh, Well. That's Ethel." the farmer said, turning back to the man. "Don't pay any attention toher. She doesn't know a thing about cars."
“哎呀,那是艾瑟兒啦,”農(nóng)夫轉(zhuǎn)頭對那人說道:“不要理她,她對車子根本一竅不通。”
