【笑话原文】


 


What’s Time to A Pig


 


One day a visitor from the city came to a small rural area to drive around the country roads, see how the farms looked, and perhaps to see how farmers earned their living.


 


The city man saw a farmer in his yard, holding a pig up in his hands, and lifting it so that the pig could eat apples from an apple tree.


 


The city man said to the farmer, "I see that your pig likes apples, but isn't that quite a waste of time?" The farmer replied," What's time to a pig?" [qh] 


 


【中文译文】


 


时间对猪的意义


 


一天,有一个城市里的游客来到一个小乡村,在乡间路上开着车,想看看农庄是什么样子,也想看看农夫怎样种田过日子。 这位城里人看见一位农夫在宅后的草地上,手中抱着一头猪,并把它举得高高的,好让它能够吃到树上的苹果。城里人对农夫说,“我看你的猪挺喜欢吃苹果的,但是,这不是很浪费时间吗?”那位农夫回答说,“时间对猪有什么意义?”
