Who am I? 我是谁?
At a tea for officers and their wives, the commanding general of a base delivered a seemingly endless oration. A young lieutenant grumbled to the woman sitting beside him, “What a pompous and unbearable old windbag that slob is!” The woman turned to him, her face red with rage. “Excuse me, Lieutenant. Do you have any idea who I am?” “No, ma'am,” the man fumbled. “I am the wife of the man you just called an unbearable old windbag.” “Oh,” said the lieutenant. “And do you have any idea who I am?” “No,” said the general's wife. “Thank God,” said the lieutenant, getting up from his seat and disappearing into the crowd.
在一次军官和家属的茶话会上,基地的司令没完没了地发表着演说。一位年轻的中尉对坐在他旁边的女人嘟囔说:“这个老家伙啰嗦乏味、自以为是,真叫人不能容忍。”那个女人转过来,她的脸因生气而通红:“中尉,你知道我是谁吗?”小伙子说:“夫人,我不知道。”“我是那个你才说的啰嗦乏味、自以为是、叫人不能容忍的老家伙的太太。”中尉说:“哦,那你知道我是谁吗?”将军的夫人说:“不知道。”中尉说:“感谢上帝。”说完就从位置上站起来,消失在人群中。 |
