幽默笑話精粹72：圣誕樹(shù)

Searching through row upon row of Christmas trees, my husband Norm and In picked one we liked. Then I noticed the one being held by a woman nearby the perfect tree. I watched as she carried it around the lot and couldn’t believe my eyes when she set it aside.

我和丈夫諾姆挑選圣誕樹(shù)，挑了一排又一排，終于選了一棵中意的。這時(shí)我注意到旁邊一位婦女手里拿的一棵—那是一棵絕好的圣誕樹(shù)。她拿著那棵樹(shù)在那個(gè)地方走來(lái)走去，我就一直看著。當(dāng)她將樹(shù)放到一邊時(shí)，我簡(jiǎn)直都不敢相信我的眼睛了。

I ditched ours and ran over to grab the coveted tree. "Aren't we lucky?" I said to Norm. "I do feel a little guilty, however, for taking it before she could change her mind.”

我丟開(kāi)我們選的那棵，跑過(guò)去一把抓住那棵我垂涎已久的圣誕樹(shù)。“我們真走運(yùn)!”我對(duì)諾姆說(shuō):“不過(guò)，我確實(shí)覺(jué)得有點(diǎn)愧疚，在她還沒(méi)來(lái)得及改變主意之前就把它拿了下來(lái)。”

"I wouldn’t worry ,”he replied, "she just ran over and snatched ours."

“我一點(diǎn)都不擔(dān)心，”他回答說(shuō)。“她剛剛跑過(guò)來(lái)把我們那棵搶走了。”
