兩只臭鼬
"We have a skunk in the basement," shrieked the caller to the police dispatcher. "How can we get it out?"
“我們的地下室里有一只臭鼬,”打電話的人對警察調(diào)度員尖叫道,“我們怎樣才能把它弄出來?”
"Take some bread crumbs," said the dispatcher, "and put down a trail from the basement out to the back yard. Then leave the cellar door open."
“找一些面包屑,”調(diào)度員說:“從地下室開始撒,一直撒到后院。然后將地下室的門打開。”
Sometime later the man called back. "Did you get rid of it?" asked the dispatcher.
過了一段時(shí)間,那人又打電話打了回來。“你們把臭鼬趕跑了嗎?”調(diào)度員問。
"No," replied the caller. "Now I have two skunks in there!"
“沒有,”打電話的人回答說,“現(xiàn)在地下室有兩只臭鼬了。”
