A Businessman's Idea

A family moved from the city to the suburbs， and were told they ought to get a watchdog to guard their house. So they bought the largest dog available from a near-by dealer.

Shortly afterwards the house was broken at night by burglars while the dog was asleep. The householder went to the dealer and told him about it.

“Well， what you need now，” said the dealer， “is a little dog to wake up the dog.”

商人的主意

一戶人家從城里搬到郊區(qū)，有人告訴他們應(yīng)該買(mǎi)一條看門(mén)狗來(lái)守家。于是他們就去附近的一個(gè)商人那里買(mǎi)了一條最大的狗。

不久之后，夜賊闖進(jìn)他們家時(shí)那條狗卻一直在睡覺(jué)。這家的主人去找那個(gè)商人告訴他這件事。

“那么，”商人說(shuō)，“你們現(xiàn)在還需要一條小狗來(lái)叫醒這條狗。”

Sale

When we decided to sell our house， we nailed “FOR SALE BY OWNER” signs on two trees in our front yard. Before long， the doorbell rang. “How much are you asking for the trees？” a young man asked.

拍賣(mài)

我們決定賣(mài)掉我們的房子。于是，我們就在院前的大樹(shù)上釘了兩塊牌子，上面寫(xiě)著：“拍賣(mài)?！睕](méi)過(guò)多久，我們的門(mén)鈴就響了。一位年輕人問(wèn)：“你們的樹(shù)想賣(mài)多少錢(qián)？”

What are the two words？

A very nice old lady had a few words to say to her granddaughter. “My dear，” said the old lady， “I wish you would promise me never to use two words. One is ‘lousy and the other is ‘swell. Would you promise me that？”

“Why， sure， Granny，” said the girl. “What are the two words？”

是哪兩個(gè)詞？

一個(gè)非常和藹的老夫人有幾句話要對(duì)她的孫女說(shuō)。“我親愛(ài)的，”老夫人說(shuō)，“我希望你能幫我一個(gè)忙。我要你答應(yīng)永遠(yuǎn)不要用兩個(gè)詞，一個(gè)是‘討厭的'，另一個(gè)是‘極好的'。你能答應(yīng)我嗎？”

“噢，當(dāng)然，奶奶?！迸⒄f(shuō)：“是哪兩個(gè)詞？”
