幽默笑話精粹67：上鉤

Joe was going into his usual bar before lunch when he saw a poorly dressed man fishing in a small pool of rain-water about five centimeters deep outside it. Joe stopped and watched the man for a few minutes. He saw that most of tire people who passed by him believed he must be rather mad.

在午飯以前，喬正要去他經(jīng)常光顧的酒吧，這時，他看見一個衣衫檻褸的人正在酒吧外五厘米深的雨水坑邊垂釣。喬停了下來，盯著那個人看了幾分鐘。他注意到大多數(shù)路人都認為那個人精神不正常。

Joe pitied the man，so after a few minutes he went up to him and said kindly，“Hello, would you like to come into the bar and have a drink with me?”

喬可憐那個人，于是幾分鐘后他走上前去，友好地對他說:“你好，你愿意跟我一塊兒到酒吧喝杯酒嗎?”

The fisherman was delighted to accept his offer, and the two men went into the bar together. Joe bought the fisherman a few drinks，and finally said to him. "You’ve been fishing outside here，haven’t you? How many did you manage to catch this morning，if I may ask?”

那個垂釣者愉快地接收了他的邀請，于是兩個人一同走進酒吧。喬給那個人叫了幾杯酒，最后對他說:“你剛才在外面釣魚，是不是?如果你不介意的話，我能問一下今天早上你釣了幾條了?”

"You’ve been the eighth，” the fisherman answered merrily.

“你是第八條，”那個垂釣者開心地說道。
