第11单元 鸭食
A duck walks into a bakery and asks the baker, "Hey, you got any duck food?"
有只鸭子走进一家面包店问面包师傅:“嘿,这里有什么鸭食吗?”
The baker looks down at the duck and says, "No. Get out of here you're bad for business." So the duck waddles out of the bakery.
面包师傅低头看看鸭子说道:“没有。滚开,不要妨碍我做生意。”于是鸭子摇摇摆摆地走出面包店。
The next day the duck comes back, "Got any duck food?" He asks the baker a second time. "No," said the duck leaves the store again.
第二天鸭子又来了,它问面包师傅:“有什么鸭食吗?”“没有,”面包师傅愤愤地说道:“滚开,不要呆在我的面包店。”于是鸭子又走了。
The next day the duck comes back again, "Got any duck food?" He asks the baker.
隔天,鸭子又来了,他问面包师傅:“有什么鸭食吗?”
By this time the baker is very angry. He doesn't like the duck waddling around his shop. "Listen duck, if you come back here one more time asking for duck food I am going to nail you to the sidewalk."
面包师傅这回火冒三丈,他不喜欢这只鸭子在店里到处摇摇摆摆地晃来晃去,于是对鸭子说:“鸭子,你给我听好了,如果你敢再回来讨鸭食,我就把你钉到人行道上。”
So the duck leaves.
于是鸭子又走了。
Once again the duck returns to the bakery. "Hey Mr. Got any nails?"
The baker looks confused and says, "No." The duck replies, "Good. Got any duck food?"
鸭子又回到面包店,这回它问面包师傅:“嘿,先生。有什么钉子吗?”面包师傅一头雾水地说:“没有。”于是鸭子回答:“好。那么,有什么鸭食吗?”
