一则英语笑话测试你的英语水平

I have heard one sad story of a hitchhiker who went into a shop and saw the sign "Lift" but found it too heavy, then saw the sign "Pet Supplies" so he did, this wasn't too bad but then he went outside and saw the sign "Compact Cars" and went to prison for ten years.

看懂了吗？很有意思吧？

看看就知道了

- - 我承认我看不懂~

晕中………………“鹅语”………………

嗯看完了，逗死我了哈哈！其实很容易理解的，我来翻译一下：

I have heard one sad story of a hitchhiker who went into a shop and saw the sign "Lift" but found it too heavy, then saw the sign "Pet Supplies" so he did, this wasn't too bad but then he went outside and saw the sign "Compact Cars" and went to prison for ten years.

大意是说，我曾经听到一个关于搭车者的很悲惨的故事. 那个搭车者进了一家商店，然后看到有一个标志写着“举”(其实是电梯的意思, Lift这里当电梯讲)，但是他发现它(电梯)太沉了 (当然举不懂了) ，然后他看到有个标志写着“抚摸食品”(其实是宠物食品的意思，他看成抚摸食品了,pet的名词是宠物，动词是抚摸)，所以他就摸了 (好傻的人)，这还不算最惨的，当他最后出商店后，看到有个标志写着“砸车”(其实是小轿车的意思，就是美国卖车的地方，小轿车英文叫Combact Cars,他把 Compact看成动词了，他以为是要去砸车 ，所以最后去监狱蹲了10年

大家看明白了吗？真的不难哦

It's funny and ironic, whenever you, Maloney, travel on Earth, you're sure to hear of a lauguage called English. This joke shows you how stupid a person can be and end up with if he or she don't know enough English, because English is one of the most confusing illogical contraictory laguages that you're ever likly to meet in the universe. If possible, avoid speaking it or even trying to listen to it, so you won't get in trouble just like this person did.
