   Professor's Wish


  教授的愿望
  A graduate student, a post-doc, and a professor were walking on campus and they found an antique oil lamp. They rubbed it and a genie 1 came out in a puff 2 of smoke.
  一个研究生、一个博士后和一个教授在校园里走时发现了一只古老的油灯。他们摩擦油灯,一个精灵随之着一股烟雾钻了出来。
  The genie said, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give each of you just one."
  精灵说:“我一般只让人许三个愿,所以你们一个可以有一个愿望。”
  "Me first! Me first!" said the graduate student. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat with a gorgeous woman."
  “我先来!我先来!”研究生抢着说,“我要去巴哈马,和一个漂亮的女人在海上驾着快艇游弋。”
  Poof! He's gone.
  噗的一下,他去了。
  "Me next! Me next!" said the post-doc. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with a professional hula dancer on one side and a Mai Tai on the other."
  “到我了!到我了!”博士后接着说,“我要去夏威夷,在海滩上闲散着,要有一个专业的草裙舞演员在一旁为我表演,手边还要有一杯迈泰酒。”
  Poof! He's gone.
  噗的一下,他也去了。
  "You're next," the genie said to the professor.
  “轮到你了,”精灵对教授说。
  The professor smiled and said, "I want those guys back in the lab after lunch."
  教授笑着说:“我要那两个人午饭后回到实验室。”
