有個人牽了三只大蜥蜴走進壹家漢堡店,老板嚇了壹跳。接著他點了四份漢堡和薯條,老板聳聳肩答應了他的要求,那個老兄和他的蜥蜴享受過晚餐後便離開了。
The next day the man returned with two kangaroos and the same scene was repeated.
第二天,那個人帶了兩只袋鼠,又點了相同的東西。
On the third day the man entered with two orangutans and a chimpanzee, and the owner could't help making a remark. " You certainly seem to be an animal lover," he said.
第三天,他帶了兩只紅毛猩猩和壹只黑猩猩。老板實在忍不住,便說:“您實在是個愛護動物的有心人。”
"That's true," said the man, "and I'd like you to know how much we appreciate your letting us eat here. Some proprietors object."
“那倒是真的,”那位仁兄回答說道。“另外我也要感謝妳讓我們進來吃晚餐,許多店老板都拒絕賣東西給我們。”
"That's quite alright," said the shopkeeper.
“沒有問題啦!”店老板說。
"As a token of my appreciation, I'd like to give you this lobster." And the animal lover handed over a live, wriggling crustacean.
“為了向妳表示謝意,我送妳壹只龍蝦。”說著他便給老板壹只活蹦亂跳的大龍蝦。
"Well, that's very kind of you. My wife and I will have it for dinner."
“您真好,我太太和我將以它當晚餐。”
"Oh, he's already had dinner. But I'm sure he'd love to take in a movie."
“喔,它已經吃過晚餐了,但我想它會喜歡看場電影。”
