愚人笑話：5、 Not Stupid 我們又不是傻瓜

5. Not Stupid

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

我們又不是傻瓜

一天夜里，一個(gè)年輕的傻小伙正沿著河岸散步，突然他聽(tīng)到河對(duì)岸傳來(lái)呼救聲。他馬上大聲問(wèn)對(duì)岸的人是否需要幫助。

原來(lái)河對(duì)岸有兩個(gè)金發(fā)女郎，她們大聲告訴這個(gè)小伙子她們想到河的這邊來(lái)卻找不到一座橋。這個(gè)小伙子想了一會(huì)兒，最后大聲告訴對(duì)岸的金發(fā)女郎：“我打開(kāi)手電照著河面，你們就沿著這條光柱過(guò)來(lái)吧。”

金發(fā)女郎們馬上回答：“我們又不是傻瓜，走到半路時(shí)你一定會(huì)關(guān)掉手電，那我們就會(huì)掉進(jìn)河里了！”
