雙語幽默笑話：克萊頓教授

克萊頓教授
 

Creighton was going along a West end square when he saw a little fellow trying to reach the knocker of a large house.

當克萊頓教授沿著倫敦西區(qū)的一個廣場走著的時候，他看見一個小家伙正試圖抓住一所大房子的門環(huán)。

"Can’t you reach up so high? "asked the professor kindly.

“你是不是夠不到這么高的地方呢?”教授好意地問。

"No，Slr,”said the small youngster.

“是的，先生。”那小孩說。

"Well, then, let me help you,”and the professor mounted the three steps and gave a splendid rat-tat.

“那好，讓我來幫你。”教授登上那三級臺階，在門上重重扣了幾下。

The little boy glanced hastily at the gentleman of the cloth. "Come on,”he yelled，"we must both run away.”

那個小男孩急忙給教授遞上一個眼色。“快跑，”他喊著:“我們倆都得跑。”
