幽默笑話精粹53：關于身份問題的教育

場景:夏天一個炎熱的下午，一年級的教室里。

Teacher: We are going to have a spelling competition this afternoon. Anyone who can spell a word correctly can go home early. We’11 start with Mary. What did you do at lunchtime?

老師問:“今天下午我們來進行一場拼詞比賽。誰能準確無誤地拼出一個單詞就可以早回家了。我們先從瑪莉開始，你午飯時間去干什么了?”

Mary: I played in the sandpit.

瑪莉回答:“我在沙坑里玩。”

Teacher: Mary, can you spell "pit?"

老師說:“瑪莉你可以拼寫‘沙坑’這個詞嗎?”

Mary: P …I … T?

瑪莉: "P. . . I. . . T?"

Teacher: Very good，you may go. Now Tommy , what did you do at lunch?

老師:“非常好，你可以走了?，F(xiàn)在輪到湯米了，你午飯時間都干什么了?”

Tommy: I was playing with my toy car.

湯米:“我在玩我的玩具車。”

Teacher: Tommy，can you spell "car"?

老師:“那你會拼‘車’這個詞嗎?”

Tommy: C…A …R

湯米:"C. . . A. . . R"

Teacher: Very good，you may go. Now Johnny, why are you crying?

老師:“非常好，你也可以走了。下一個，約翰尼，你為什么哭呀?”

Johnny(sniff): Because Tommy and Mary wouldn’t play with me at lunchtime， just because I'm black.

約翰尼(抽泣):“湯米和瑪莉都不和我玩，就因為我是個黑人。”

Teacher: My God. That's racial prejudice. Johnny，can you spell "racial prejudice?"

老師:“上帝呀，這簡直就是種族歧視，好了約翰尼，你能把‘種族歧視’拼出來嗎?”
