New Bicycle新自行车
Johnny was one of those holy terrors. You know, the kind of child that is into everything, can’t keep still, drives you crazy. His father was surprised when Johnny’s mother suggested that they buy him a bicycle for his birthday.
“Do you really believe that’ll help improve his behavior?” the father asked.
“Well, no,” the mom admitted, “But it will spread it over a wider area.”
约翰尼是个淘气的孩子，你知道的，那种对任何事情都感兴趣，完全静不下来的孩子，简直能把人逼疯。当他的妈妈建议在他过生日时送他一辆自行车时，他的爸爸感到很惊讶。 “难道你认为自行车能让他老实一点吗？”爸爸问道。
“哦，那倒不能，”妈妈说，“但是它能让约翰尼到远一点的地方去捣乱。”
I’m George我才是乔治
A man in a supermarket was pushing a cart which contained, among other things, a screaming baby. As the man proceeded along the aisles, he kept repeating softly, “Keep calm, George. Don’t get excited, George. Don’t yell, George.”
A lady watched with admiration and then said, “You are certainly to be commended for your patience in trying to quiet little George.”
“Lady,” he declared, “I’M George!”
在超市里，一名男子推着购物推车，里面装着一些商品，还有一个哭闹不停的婴儿。男子在过道上一边走一边不停地轻轻说着：“冷静点，乔治，别激动，乔治，不要叫，乔治。” 一名女子用赞赏的目光看着他，说道：“你如此耐心地试图让小乔治安静下来，实在值得称赞！”
“女士，”这名男子说，“我才是乔治！”
