tourist



Do you know what Americans call a person in the White House who is intelligent, honest and modest? The answer is "a tourist."



Notes:

1. Do you know what Americans call a person in the White House who is intelligent, honest and modest?

你知道美国人知何称呼白官里聃明、诚实、谦虚的人吗?



白宫位于美国首都华盛顿宾夕法尼亚大街,始建于 1792年,后多次改建和扩充,从1800年美国第2位总统亚当斯起,历任总统都以此为官邸。1902年美国第26任总统罗斯福在他的通信中首先使用“白宫”一词。



2. The answer is "a tourist."

答案是“观光客”。



白宫在星期二到星期五会开放东侧让民众进人参观。每年接待游客两百多万。这个答案让白宫里的政客们伤心,因为那表示白宫里没有人是聪明、诚实、而且谦虚的。

我们常会看到这种嘲讽似的美国笑话,如 “What do you call a beautiful girl in X? A tourist."(问:你怎么称呼在某地的美女?答:观光客。)这个笑话讽某地无美女。
