【笑話原文】

How Could Anyone Stoop So Low

Our manager at the restaurant where I worked was a much beloved, jovial man. But there was one subject you didn't dare discuss in front of him -- his height. Or, should I say, his lack of it. One day, he stormed through the door and announced angrily, “Someone just picked my pocket!” Most of my fellow waitresses and I were speechless, except for the one who blurted out, “How could anyone stoop so low? ”

【中文譯文】

哪有人能彎腰彎那么低的啊

我們的餐廳經(jīng)理是一位深受大家愛戴，和藹而又快樂的人。但在他面前有一件事不能提－－他的身高。或者，我應(yīng)該說，他是有點(diǎn)矮！ 一天，經(jīng)理怒氣沖沖地撞門而入，高聲說，“有人拿了我的錢包！” 我和其她大部女招待都沒敢吱聲，但有人卻蹦出一句話：“哪有人能彎腰彎那么低的啊”！
