雙語笑話:飛鴿傳書大綱

My husband asked me to go to the post office to mail his resume in anticipation of a job interview. He instructed me to send it the fastest way possible.

　 Struck by the urgency in his voice, I grabbed a handful of change and dashed out the door. Arriving at the post office, I rushed to the counter and breathlessly explained to the clerk that my envelope had to be delivered immediately . He casually weighed the envelope and said it would cost $ 10.03.I fumbled through my pockets and tallied up my coins. "But I don't have $ 10. 03, " I said. He punched some more buttons and said, "Okay, that will be $ 7. 40, ma am.

Once more I said in dismay, "Sorry, I don't have $ 7.40.

"Well," he sighed, "exactly how much do you have?"

I meekly answered, "I have exactly $ 2. 15, sir."

With that, he yelled over his shoulder to a coworker, "Hey, Charlie, get the pigeon ready.

郵政快遞

我丈夫讓我到郵局寄他的履歷，期望能得到工作面試的機會。他告訴我要用盡可能快的方式把它寄出去。

我感到他語氣緊急，就抓了一把零錢，衝出了家門。到了郵局，我衝到櫃檯，上氣不接下氣地向職員解釋說我的信必須馬上寄出。他漫不經心地稱了一下信的重量，說郵費是十元零三分。我翻遍了我的口袋，把所有的硬幣都算上。“可是我沒有十元零三分，”我說。他又敲了幾個鍵，然後說：“那好吧，七元四角，夫人。”

我又一次茫然地說：“對不起，我沒有七塊四。”

“那，”他嘆了口氣，“確切地說你有多少？”

我很謙和地回答道：“我有整整兩塊一角五分，先生。”

　　聽了這話，他轉過頭向身後的同事喊道：“嗨，查理，準備好鴿子。”
