笑話三則
笑話一
我是一個(gè)牙科診所的接待員，工作時(shí)我接到一個(gè)電話，我注意到來電號(hào)碼顯示電話是從一個(gè)汽車修理店打來的。電話那頭一個(gè)男人懇求看醫(yī)生，因?yàn)樗幸活w牙實(shí)在太疼了。 “你哪邊牙疼？”我問病人。他嘆了口氣說，“乘客座位那邊?！?
笑話二
我二十八歲時(shí)，在一所高中教新生英語，學(xué)校的教職員工偶爾可以穿著便裝。一天，我穿著運(yùn)動(dòng)衫和休閑褲，一個(gè)學(xué)生進(jìn)來了，他的眼睛一下瞪得老大。 “哇！”他大叫，“你應(yīng)該每天都這樣穿。你看起來年輕了二十，甚至三十歲！”
笑話三
有位老夫人買的東西太重了，她讓雜貨店里的一個(gè)年輕伙計(jì)幫她把東西搬上車。到了車邊，老夫人打開車門就毫不猶豫地坐到后排座位上開始檢查她的購貨任務(wù)完成情況。過了一會(huì)，困惑的伙計(jì)繞過車子走到她面前。“太太，”他堅(jiān)決地說，“我不介意幫您搬東西，但我的確不能開車送您回家。”
Lesson37 Three Jokes
Joke 1
At my job as a dental receptionist， I answered the phone and noticed on the caller-ID screen that the incoming call was from an auto-repair shop． The man on the line begged to see the dentist because of a painful tooth． “Which side of your mouth hurts?” I asked the patient． He sighed and answered， “The passenger side．”
Joke 2
When I was twenty-eight， I was teaching English to freshmen in a high school where occasionally the faculty and staff were allowed to dress down． One of those days I wore a sweatshirt and slacks． A student came in and his eyes widened． “Wow!” he exclaimed． “You should wear clothes like that every day． You look twenty， maybe even thirty years younger!”
Joke 3
Heavily laden with groceries， an old lady asked a young clerk at the grocery store to accompany her to her car． Arriving there， she unlocked and opened the doors and， without thinking， sat down in the back seat to check off her list of errands． A moment later the perplexed clerk walked around the car to her． “Lady，” he said firmly． “I don't mind helping you load your groceries， but I really have to draw the line at driving you home．”
occasionally 偶爾的
dress down 穿便服
laden 負(fù)重
errand 使命，任務(wù)
perplexed 困惑的
