幽默笑話精粹16：以色列的出租車

An American tourist was riding in a taxi in Israel. As the taxi approached a red light, the tourist was shocked to see the driver drive straight through without even slowing down. Surprised as he was, he didn’t say anything, feeling himself a "guest" and not wanting to make waves.

一個美國游客在以色列打了一輛出租車。使這個美國游客震驚的是，當(dāng)出租車開到紅燈底下的時候，司機根本沒有減速就直著沖了過去。雖然他很吃驚，但他什么也沒說。他覺得自己是個游客不應(yīng)該找麻煩。

The trip continued without event until the next intersection. This time the light was green and，to the American' s dismay, the cab driver brought the vehicle to a grinding halt. Unable to contain his astonishment, he turns to the driver: "Listen,” he says ,“ when you went through the red light, I didn't say anything. But, why, in heaven’s name，are you stopping at a green light?!”

一切都很順利，直到下一個十字路口。這回是綠燈，可讓美國人驚愕的是那個司機踩剎車停了下來。他再也憋不住了，就問司機:“我問你，剛才你闖紅燈我什么都沒說，可這回是綠燈為什么你卻停了下來?”

The Israeli driver looks at him as if the American was deranged: "Are you crazy?!” he shouts. "The other guy has a red light一do you want to get us killed?!”

那個以色列司機看著那美國人，驚訝的喊道:“你瘋了嗎?另一個司機現(xiàn)在正要闖紅燈，難道你想找死嗎?”
