雙語笑話：壓力太大

Too Much Pressure

For a couple years I’ve been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job，but now I found out the real reason：I’m tired because I’m overworked．The population of this country is 237 million．104 million are retired．That leaves 133 million to do the work．There are 85 million in school，which leaves 48 million to do the work．Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government，leaving 19 million to do the work．2.8 million are in the Armed Forces，which leaves 16.2 million to do the work．Take from the total the 14.8 million people who work for State and City Governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work．At any given time there are 188，000 people in hospitals，leaving 1，212，000 to do the work．Now，there are 1，211，998 people in prisons．That leaves just two people to do the work．You and me．And you’re sitting at the table reading jokes．

壓力太大

多年以來我一直感到很疲憊，我曾經(jīng)把原因歸咎為缺乏睡眠以及來自于工作上的巨大壓力。但是，我現(xiàn)在找到了真正的原因：我感到疲倦是因為我超負(fù)荷工作。我們這個國家有2.37億人口。其中1.04億已經(jīng)退休了。還剩下1.33億在工作。有8，500萬人還在上學(xué)，工作的就剩下4，800萬。這其中還有2，900萬聯(lián)邦政府雇員，真正做事的就剩1，900萬人，又有280萬人在服兵役，就剩下1，620萬人在工作。從中再去掉各州和市政府的雇員1，480萬人，還剩下140萬人工作。但又有18.8萬人生病住院，現(xiàn)在只剩下121.2萬人工作。其中1，211，998人在坐牢。這樣僅剩下兩個人在工作，就是你和我。而你卻坐在桌邊看笑話。
