英語小笑話-雨中垂釣

Fishing in the rain


It was a cold dark evening in February in the city. It was raining heavily and the roads were covered in water. George was leaving his office after work when he noticed a poor old man. The man was standing next to a puddle in the road. He was wearing long rubber fishing boots and he was holding a stick with a piece of string. The string was hanging in the puddle. George asked the old man what he was doing and the man replied that he was fishing. ‘Poor guy!’, George thought. The old man was obviously going crazy. George felt sorry for the old man, and he was getting very wet, standing outside in the rain, so he decided to invite the old man to have a drink with him in a nearby bar.?
?George ordered a drink for himself and bought one for the old man. The old man was smiling happily as he was drinking. While they were finishing their drinks, George tried to start a conversation. He turned to the old man and asked,?
?'So is the fishing good today?'
?‘Not bad today, thanks.’ replied the old man.
?'And how many have you caught?'?








?'You're the eighth,' the old man answered.


雨中垂釣
這是城市在二月里的一個寒冷的夜晚。雨下得很大，路上全是水。喬治下班后正要離開辦公室，這時他注意到一個可憐的老人。那個人站在路邊的水坑旁邊。他穿著長長的橡膠皮靴，手里拿著一根棍子，上面有一根繩子。繩子掛吊在水坑里。喬治問老人他在干什么，那個人回答說他在釣魚。“可憐的家伙！”喬治想。老人顯然瘋了。喬治為老人感到難過，他站在雨中，全身都濕透了，所以他決定邀請老人和他一起去附近的酒吧喝一杯。
喬治為自己點了一杯酒，給老人買了一杯。老人一邊喝一邊高興地笑著。當他們喝完酒，喬治試圖開始交談。他轉向老人問，
“今天釣魚好嗎？”
“今天還不錯，謝謝。”老人回答說。
“你釣到了多少？”






“你是第八個，”老人回答。
