        從一個西方笑話談起

        閱讀 :

          我同事的兒子小徐剛才給我發來一個英文笑話,他告訴我,這個笑話是他在國外一個著名幽默網站上看到的,內容不多,文字也很淺顯,但看了好幾遍,就是沒看懂,所以他想請我看一看,然后告訴他這個笑話究竟是想說什么?于是我把這個笑話看了一遍,為便于讀者理解,我把它的大意翻譯出來。

          薩達姆給布什打電話,說我昨晚做了一個夢,夢見美國所有樓房頂上,都有一個大廣告牌。布什忙問,廣告牌上寫著什么?薩達姆答道:上面寫著“真主是唯一的神”。布什說,其實我昨晚也做了一個夢,夢見伊拉克所有重建的樓房頂上,也都有一個大廣告牌。薩達姆忙問,廣告牌上寫著什么?布什答道:抱歉,我看不懂Hebrew(以色列官方語言希伯萊語)。

          看到這里,我估計有些朋友已經看明白了,這個笑話其實是一個“反以(色列)笑話”。如果您還不明白,我可以稍微給您解釋一下。在西方國家,流行一種觀點,認為美國實際上是由猶太人統治的,美國的中東政策,完全是為以色列服務的,比如不久前美國發動的伊拉克戰爭,其目的之一,就是為以色列鏟除一個政治、軍事、經濟方面的對手。當然,這種觀點是對是錯,我們不用評價它,但了解這種觀點,有助于我們理解上面這個笑話。

          這個笑話的含義就是:美國占領伊拉克后,以色列是最大的贏家,以色列公司(包括美國猶太人公司),可以壟斷伊拉克的重建項目,獲取豐厚利潤。通過這件小事,我們可以看出,要想看懂西方笑話,必須對西方國家有一定的了解,否則很難明白其中的含義。目前國內英語學習者有一種傾向,那就是只學習英語本身,不學習相關的背景知識,這種急功近利的做法是不可取的,其結果很可能就像小徐那樣,單詞都認識,但意思不知道。下面就是這個笑話的原文,有興趣的朋友可以看一看。

          I Had a Dream

          Saddam Hussein phoned George Bush and said, “George, I called you because I had this incredible dream last night. I could see all of America, and it was beautiful and on top of every building, there was a beautiful banner.”

          Bush asked, “What was on the banner?”

          Saddam responded, “It said Allah is God, and God is Allah.”

          Bush said, “You know, Saddam, I'm really glad you called, because last night I had a dream too. I could see all of Baghdad, and it was even more beautiful than before the war. It had been completely rebuilt, and on every building there was also a beautiful banner.”

          Saddam said, “What was on the banner?”

          Bush replied, “I really don't know. I don't read Hebrew.”
