英語笑話

493　A Tricky Mockingbird 淘氣的嘲鶇鳥

I drive a motor home as our office on wheels while we conduct truck inspections. When the motor home is in reverse, it makes a repetitive beeping noise. One quiet morning I backed the unit out of its carport and stopped alongside my regular patrol car to retrieve something. As I walked toward the car, I heard the familiar beeping sound. My heart stopped as I turned, expecting to see the $80,000 vehicle backing itself down the driveway. To my relief, the motor home was not moving. But at the top of a nearby tree sat a mockingbird perfectly mimicking the beep.

我開一輛活動房車作為我們檢查卡車的活動辦公室。這輛活動房車在倒車的時候會發(fā)出“嘀嘀嘀”的叫聲。在一個寧靜的早晨，我把它從停車棚里倒出來，停在我的正常巡邏用的警車旁邊。正當我朝警車走過去拿東西的時候，聽到熟悉的“嘀嘀嘀”的叫聲。我的心跳都停止了，以為價值八萬美金的活動房車一定是自己在后退。我轉過頭來，出乎意料的是車并沒有移動。而在附近的一棵樹的頂上有一只嘲鶇鳥，正在惟妙惟肖地模仿著“嘀嘀嘀”的叫聲。
