drunk醉漢／喝醉了的，argue爭(zhēng)論，settle解決
【笑話原文】
Drunks
Two drunks were walking along. One drunk said to the other, “What a stunning night, look at the moon.”
The other drunk stopped and looked at his drunk friend. “You are wrong, that’s not the moon. That’s the sun.”
Both started arguing for a while when they come upon another drunk walking, so they stopped him. “Sir, could you please help settle our argument? Tell us what that thing is up in the sky that’s shining. Is it the moon or the sun?”
The third drunk looked at the sky and then at them and shook his head, “Sorry, I don’t live around here.”
【中文譯文】
三個(gè)醉漢

另一個(gè)醉漢停下腳步，看著自己醉了的朋友說(shuō)：“你錯(cuò)了，那不是月亮，是太陽(yáng)。”
倆人爭(zhēng)論了起來(lái)，直到他們遇到又一個(gè)走來(lái)的醉漢。他們攔住了他，說(shuō)：“先生，您能幫我們結(jié)束爭(zhēng)論嗎？告訴我們天上在發(fā)光的玩意兒到底是什么。是月亮還是太陽(yáng)？”
第三個(gè)醉漢望了望天，又望了望他們，搖搖頭說(shuō)：“真抱歉，我不住在附近?！?/FONT>
