【笑话原文】


 


Eat Nails for Lunch


 


I have a reputation at work for being a strict boss. One day I was in the break room with my co-worker. I reached into the refrigerator for my lunch, which was packed in an Ace Hardware paper bag. My co-worker stopped mid-bite and stared at me, looking a little tense. When I pulled my sandwich out of the bag, he sighed in relief. “What’s the matter?” I asked him. “Uh, nothing,” he replied, “I was beginning to think you really do eat nails for lunch.”


 


【中文译文】


 


吃铁钉当午饭


 


我在工作中是出了名的严格的上司。有一天我和一位同事一起在休息室里。我从冰箱里拿出我的用爱斯五金公司纸袋装的午饭。我的同事停止了咀嚼,紧张地盯着我看。当我从纸袋里拿出三明治的时候他松了口气。我问他:“怎么了?”他回答说:“啊,没事,我开始真以为你是吃铁钉当午饭。”
