英语翻译
After God created Adam,and Adam had been in the Garden for a really long time,he started to get a little lonely.So,Adam went to God and said,"This Garden is amazing,but I'm starting to get a little lonely; is there anyone that you can send to keep me company?"
God answered,"I have the perfect person.She will help you with almost everything.She'll clean,cook,wash you clothes,be your friend,and even rub your feet after a long day.She really is perfect in every way!"
Adam said,"That sounds great!How soon can you send her?"
God replied again,"I can send her right away,but there is one thing ...it's going to cost you an arm and a leg to get her."
Adam thought for a moment,and then said,"What can I get for a rib?"
这是一个笑话,可到底是什么地方可笑我怎么也看不出来。笑话总共就这么长。
上帝说“cost you an arm and a leg”意思是“要付出高昂的代价”,但亚当理解为“要花去你一只手臂和一只腿”,可能他觉得这样太不划算了,所以才说“如果我只出一条肋骨,可以换得什么?”,想说得到的女人不用那么好也可以将就.其实人家上帝也许并没有想要他身上的器官之类的东西的,是他自己英文没学好、理解错了而已——所以才好笑~
