醫(yī)療笑話：1、 Who is nuts? 誰瘋了

1. Who is nuts?

In a hospital for mentally disturbed2 people, when the doctor walked into the room of a patient, he saw him dangling3 from the ceiling4. Being frightened, he called the nurse to come and pull him down for fear that the man might fall to his death.

The nurse said: "Doctor, every day this patient thinks that he is a lamp, therefore, he often hangs from the ceiling!"

The doctor said: "No, you have to pull him down at once; otherwise, he'll die if he falls down."

After a pause, the nurse answered: "But the light will go out after I pull him down!"

Notes:

1. nuts （俚語）瘋狂的，發(fā)瘋的

2. mentally disturbed （委婉語）有精神病的，有智障的

3. dangle 垂，懸掛

4. ceiling 天花板

誰瘋了

一家智障病院里，醫(yī)師走進(jìn)一個(gè)病人的房間，發(fā)現(xiàn)病人正吊在天花板上晃來晃去。醫(yī)師怕病人會(huì)摔死，叫護(hù)士趕緊把病人拉下來。

護(hù)士說：“醫(yī)生，這個(gè)病人每天都認(rèn)為自己是一盞燈，所以常常把自己吊在天花板上?！?

醫(yī)師說：“不行，你還是得馬上把他拉下來，免得他摔死。”

護(hù)士停頓了一下，說：“可是，如果我把他拉下來，燈不就熄了嗎？”

“Mentally disturbed”也可寫作“mentally disorder”，都是英語委婉語。諸如此類的委婉語還有“senior citizen（老年人）”“sanitary engineer（清潔工）”“meat technologist（屠夫）”等。
