【笑話原文】

Who Is This

My two sisters and I were all away at various colleges at the same time. One day, after facing one crisis too many and tired of being treated like just another undergraduate, I phoned home for some consolation and understanding of my unique problems.

When my dad answered, I immediately launched into my litany of frustrations with college life. As I paused to catch my breath, he said, "O.K., honey...now, fist of all, who is this?"

【中文譯文】

哪個女兒

我和兩個妹妹同時離開家去不同的大學(xué)讀書。經(jīng)歷了太多的危機(jī)，也厭倦了受到與其他大學(xué)生相同的對待之后，有一天我給家里打了個電話，就我獨有的問題尋求安慰和理解。 爸爸接起電話后，我立刻開始?xì)v數(shù)我大學(xué)生活中的挫折。當(dāng)我停下來歇口氣時，爸爸說：“好啦，親愛的...現(xiàn)在，首先告訴我，你是我的哪一個女兒?”
