hurry催促,prohibit禁止
【笑话原文】
All Right
Hurrying my 11-year old daughter to school, I made a right turn at a red light when it was prohibited. “Uh-oh,” I said, realizing my mistake. “I just make an illegal turn.”
“I guess it's all right,” my daughter replied, “The police car behind us did the same thing.”
【中文译文】
警车也违章了
我赶着开车将11岁的女儿送到学校去,在红灯处右拐了,而那是不允许的(译注:在一些国家如英国,其交通规则是车辆左行的,与我国相反)。啊噢,意识到犯了错误,我说。我刚才拐弯是违章的。 我想那没关系的,女儿回答说:我们后面的警车也同样拐了弯。
