A young foolish guy was walking along a river bank one night when he heard someone yelling1 for help on the other side of the river. He yelled back to see if there was anything he could do.
He found out that the voice on the other side of the river were from two Blondes. They yelled and told him that they needed to get over to the other side of the river but could not find a bridge. The guy thought for a minute and finally yelled back to the Blondes, "I'll shine this flashlight2 across the river and you walk across the beam3 to this side"
The Blondes immediately replied, "We are not stupid, when we get halfway across the river you will shut the flashlight off and we will fall into the river!"
Notes:
1. yell 喊叫,吼叫
2. flashlight 手電
3. beam 光柱,光束
一天夜里,一個年輕的傻小伙正沿著河岸散步,突然他聽到河對岸傳來呼救聲。他馬上大聲問對岸的人是否需要幫助。
原來河對岸有兩個金發(fā)女郎,她們大聲告訴這個小伙子她們想到河的這邊來卻找不到一座橋。這個小伙子想了一會兒,最后大聲告訴對岸的金發(fā)女郎:“我打開手電照著河面,你們就沿著這條光柱過來吧?!?
金發(fā)女郎們馬上回答:“我們又不是傻瓜,走到半路時你一定會關掉手電,那我們就會掉進河里了!”

19世紀末期手電筒才被發(fā)明。因為它必須結(jié)合電池與電燈泡的發(fā)明,而早期電池的蓄電力不足,因此,它在英文中被稱為“flashlight”,意即“短暫的燈”。
