英语翻译
The manager of a small building company was very surprised to get a bill for two white mice one of his workmen had bought.He sent for the workman and
asked him why he had the bill send to the company.
"Well ,"the workman answered,"you remember the house we were repairing in New-bridge,don't you?One of the things we had to do there was to put in some new electric wiring (线路).Well,in one place we had to pass some wires through
a pipe thirty feet long and had four big bends (弯) in it.
None of us could think how to do this until I had a good idea.I went to a shop
and bought two white mice,one of them male and the other female.Then I tied a
thread (线) to the body of the male mouse and put it into the pipe at one end,while Bill held the female mouse at the other end and pressed her gently to make her squeak (吱吱的 ).When the male mouse heard the female mouse's squeaks,he rushed along the pipe to help her.I suppose he was a gentleman even though he was only a mouse.Anyway,as he ran through this pipe,he pulled the thread behind him.It was then quite easy for us to tie the thread to the electric wires and pull them through the pipe.
The manager paid the bill for the whitemice.
一家小型建筑公司的老板收到了一张账单,是他的一个职工买了两只小白鼠的账单,他感到十分惊讶.
于是他找到那位工人,问他为什么把这个账单送到公司.
“好吧”工人回答“你还记得我们在新桥的修复工作,对吧?其中一项修复是我们要在桥上安装一些新的电线.
是这样,有一个地方,我们必须把电线传入一个30步长有4个挺大的弯的管子.
没有人能够想到怎么办,直到我想出了一个号注意.
我去商店买了两只白鼠,一只雄鼠一只雌鼠,然后我把一根线绑在雄鼠身上,把他放到管子的一端,同时,Bill把雌鼠抓到另一端并轻轻的按住她是她发出吱吱的叫声.
当雄鼠听到雌鼠吱吱的叫声时,他沿着管子冲过去去帮助她.我认为他是个绅士,尽管只有他一只雄鼠.
不管怎样,随着他跑过管子,他把身后的线也拉过去了.
然后,我们的工作就很容易了,我们吧电线系在穿过管子的那条线上,然后把电线拉进去了.”
经理付了买白鼠的账单.
