A Very Smart Dog
一只太聪明的狗
I went to the cinema the other day and in the front row was an old man and with him was his dog.
一天,我去电影院看电影,我的前排坐着一位老人和他的狗。
It was a sad funny kind of film, you know the type. In the sad part, the dog cried his eyes out, and in the funny part, the dog laughed its head off. This happened all the way through the film.
你知道啦,这是一部黑色喜剧片。演到伤心处,那只狗就痛哭流涕,而演到开心的地方,那只狗就狂笑不已。整个放映期间,那只狗就一直这样哭哭笑笑的。
After the film had ended, I decided to go and speak to the man.
电影结束后,我决定去和那位老人聊聊。
"That's the most amazing thing I've seen," I said. "That dog really seemed to enjoy the film."
“这是我见过的最神奇的事情了,”我说,“您的狗看来真是很喜欢这部电影。”
The man turned to me and said, "Yeah, it is. He hated the book."
老人看着我说:“当然,它喜欢看电影。它讨厌看那本书。”
