alley 1小巷,predict预言



笑话原文】



Told You So



On my way to deliver a computer to a customer, I saw a handwritten sign at the entrance of an alley. It read, “Blocked! Can not pass! Difficult to turn back.” I continued anyway, only to discover that the alley was indeed blocked by a fallen tree. As predicted, it took a while to turn the trunk around. When I eventually got back to the entrance, I noticed a second sign. It read, “Told you so!”



中文译文】



告诉过你了



在给顾客送电脑的途中,我看到一条小巷的入口贴了一个手写的招贴:“堵住了!不能通过!转回来有困难。”但是我还是继续往前开,一直到发现这条小巷的确被一棵倒下的树堵住了。正如所预言的,我费了好大劲才把卡车调过头来。当我最后又回到小巷的入口处时,看到了另一个招贴:“告诉你,你不信!”
