英語幽默小故事帶翻譯: Help for two 兩全齊美(中英雙語)
12.Help for two
12·兩全齊美
Early one morning, my next-door neighbor set to work with a power hedge-trimmer. He was half through the job when a neighbor appeared,still in his pajamas. He was carrying his own power clipper and offered his help, which was gratefully accepted. When the job was done, my neighbor thanked his benefactor,commenting that it had been "a real neighborly act".
一天清晨,我隔壁的鄰居在用一個電動剪修機修草坪。當他干到一半兒的時侯,另一個鄰居也來了。他仍穿著睡衣,手里拿著他自家的電動剪修機,說是來幫忙的。這個要求當然不會被拒絕了。活干完時,我那位受益的都居對他表示了謝意,還評論說:“這才是真正的部居。”
"Don't mention it,“replied the other man. "I figured,by helping you,it would only take half as long and I could get back to sleep!"
另一個鄰居卻說:“不用客氣。我算了一下,幫你一個忙,可以節(jié)省一半時間,然后我還能回去睡覺。”
