那些妙趣橫生的英語幽默故事
That record will stand forever
這個紀錄永遠不會被打破了
Back at my high school for the tenth reunion, I met my old coach. Walking through the gym, we came upon a plaque on which l was still listed as the record holder for the longest softball throw. Noticing my surprise, the coach said, "That record will stand forever."I was about to make some modest disclaimer that records exist to be broken, when he added, "We stopped holding that event years ago."
高中畢業(yè)十年以后,我回母校團聚,碰到以前的教練。我們穿過體育館的時候,看到一塊牌匾,上面刻著我的名字,我仍然是壘球投擲量遠紀錄保持者。注意到我的詫異,老教練說:這個紀錄永遠不會被打破了。當我剛想謙虛幾句說紀錄的存在就是為了被打破時,他補充說:“我們幾年前就取消這項比賽了。”
