購物過早
It was Christmas and the judge was in a benevolentmood as he questioned the prisoner. "What are youcharged with?" he asked.
時值圣誕節(jié),所以法官在審訊犯人時動了惻隱之心。“你為什么被控告?”他問道。
"Doing my Christmas shopping early," replied thedefendant.
“我圣誕節(jié)購物太早了。”被告回答。
"That's no offense," replied the judge, "How earlywere you doing this shopping?"
“這并沒有犯法。”法官回答:“你多早就去購物了?”
"Before the store opened," countered the prisoner.
“商店還沒開門呢。”犯人回答道。
