【笑话原文】



The Goldfish Is inside Your Cat 金鱼在猫咪的肚子里



Little Amy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the fence.



Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was doing, he politely asked, "What are you up to there, Amy?"



"My goldfish died," replied Amy tearfully, without looking up, "and I've just buried him."



The neighbor was concerned, "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?"



Amy patted down the last heap of earth then replied, "That's because he's inside your cat."



【中文译文】



小艾米正在花园里填一个坑,这时,她的邻居隔着篱笆看见了。



邻居很好奇这个胖嘟嘟的小家伙在干什么,于是礼貌地问:“艾米,你在那儿忙些什么呀?”



“我的金鱼死了,”艾米头也不抬地哽咽道,“我刚刚把它埋了。”



邻居困惑地说:“这个坑对于一条金鱼来说也太大了吧,对不?”



艾米轻轻拍了拍最后一捧土并回答:“那是因为金鱼在你猫咪的肚子里!”



【词汇讲解】



1.peer vi.凝视,注视。不及物动词,因此要加上介词over。可以根据不同的情况加不同的介词,如:he peered through a crack in the door.他通过门缝眯眼看。



2.interested in 对什么感兴趣,后面加名词或动名词



3. youngster 年轻人,小孩,有时也指小动物



4. what are you up to there? 非常口语化,和what are you doing 是一个意思,你在忙些什么?be up to 有时也表示进展的意思,如:what are you up to? 你(的事情)进展怎么样了?



5. replied Amy tearfully 使用了倒装,把动词置于主语前,使短文的句子结构更丰富



6.awfully也是个很口语化的词,表示非常的意思,置于形容词前,例如:I’m awfully sorry我感到十分抱歉
