Why Not Stay in the Hole
怎么不呆在洞里呢
An old cattleman rode into a clearing and saw an enraged 1 bull about to charge a cowboy who had become separated from his horse. Head down and nostrils 2 flared 3, the bull charged. The cowboy dived into a convenient recess 4 in the ground, and the bull plunged 5 across the hole. The cowboy leaped out, and on came the bull again, madder than ever. Back into the hole dropped the cowboy. The cattleman watched this happen half a dozen times, then yelled, "Why don't you just stay in the hole?" Leaping out again, the cowboy shouted, "There's a bear in that hole."
一个年老的放牛人骑马来到一块开阔地，看到一头发怒的公牛正要朝一个已经从马上掉下的牛仔撞去。那头公牛低着头，张着鼻孔，冲了过去。牛仔顺势一下子跳进地上的一个洞里，公牛从洞上跳了过去。牛仔跳出洞，公牛又冲了过来，比先前更疯狂了。牛仔又跳回洞里。放牛人看着这一幕重复了一次又一次，于是喊道：“你为什么不呆在洞里？”牛仔又跳了出来，喊道：“洞里有只熊！”
