幽默笑話精粹66：費迪南德先生的午餐

One morning Mrs. Ferdinand said to her husband: "Roger, there’s a meeting at Mrs. Young's house at lunch time today，and I want to go to it. I’ll leave you some food for your lunch. Is that all right?" "Oh, yes.” Her husband answered，“That’s quite all right. What are you going to leave for my lunch?"

一天早晨，費迪南德太太對她的丈夫說:“羅杰，今天午餐的時候楊太太的家里有一個聚會，我打算去參加，我替你留下了些食品作為你的午飯，行嗎?”她的丈夫回答說:“行啊，很好。那你為我留下些什么呢?”

“This tin of fish，"Mrs. Ferdinand said，"and there are some cold，boiled potatoes and some beans here , too.”

費迪南德太太說:“有一罐魚，還有一些冷凍的炸土豆和青豆。”

"That’s good.”Mr. Ferdinand said，"I’ll have a good lunch.” So Mrs. Ferdinand went to her meeting. All the ladies lunched at Mrs. Young's house，and at three o’clock Mrs. Ferdinand came home.

費迪南德先生說:“真是太好了，這下我有頓美味的午餐了。”于是，費迪南德太太去出席聚會了。所有的太太都在楊太太家吃了午餐。三點鐘的時候，費迪南德太太回到了家。

"Was your fish nice，Roger?" she asked.

“羅杰，魚好吃嗎?”她問丈夫。

"Yes，but my feet are hurting.”He answered.

丈夫回答到:“好吃，但我的腳傷了。”

"Why are they hurting?" Mrs. Ferdinand asked.

費迪南德太太問:“怎么弄傷的呢?”

"Well，the words on the tin are `open tin and stand in hot water for five minutes!”

“你看，罐頭上的說明書寫著:“打開罐頭，在燙水中站立五分鐘。”
