【笑话原文】


 


How badly Did He Play?


 


I hired a drummer to entertain my customers in my nightclub. After several performances, I discovered the drummer had walked away with some of my valuables. I notified police, who arrested him. Desperate for another drummer, I called a friend who knew some musicians. “What happened to the drummer you had?” he asked me. “I had him arrested,” I replied. We said good-bye and hung up. A few minutes later my friend called back and asked, “How badly did he play?”


 


【中文译文】


 


那个鼓手有多糟


 


我雇了一个鼓手到我的夜总会来给顾客演出。演了几场之后,我发现这个鼓手偷了我一些值钱的东西溜走了。我报告了警察,把他抓了起来。我急于寻找另一个鼓手来演出,就打电话给我一个认识音乐家的朋友。他问我:“上一个鼓手怎么啦?”我回答说:“我让他们把他抓起来了。”我们互相道了别,挂上了电话。过了几分钟,这个朋友又打电话过来问:“那个鼓手演奏得有多糟?”
