外國最新英語幽默笑話精粹260：災難(中英)
George W. Bush visits an elementary school and the 4th grade class is in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in a discussion of the word "tragedy". So George W. Bush asks the class for an example of a tragedy.
喬治·布什到一所小學參觀，四年級的孩子們正在討論一些單詞及其含義。老師問總統是否愿意帶領孩子們一起討論“災難”的含義時，喬治·布什要求學生們給出災難的具體例子。
One boy stands up and says, "If my best friend who lives next door is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over; that would be a tragedy.”
一個男孩站起來說:“如果住在我隔壁的最好的朋友在街上玩，一輛轎車開過來并從他身上碾過去，那將是一場災難。”
"No,”says Bush，"that would be an accident.”
“不，”布什說:“那只是一場意外。”
A girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved; that would be a tragedy.”
一個女孩舉起她的手說，“如果一輛載著50個學生的校車翻下懸崖，車上所有的同學都喪命，那將是一場災難。”
“I’m afraid not,” explains the President. "That’s what we would call a Great
loss.”
“恐怕不是，”總統解釋說，“那是我們所說的重大損失。”
The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. President Bush searches the room and asks, "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
教室里一片安靜，沒有一個孩子再發言。布什總統掃視了一遍教室，然后說，“這里沒有人能再給我一個例子，說明什么是災難嗎?”
Finally，in the back of the room, Johnny raises his hand and in a quiet voice he says， "If Air Force One，carrying Mr. and Mrs. Bush, was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.”
最后，在教室的后面，約翰尼舉起了他的手，用平靜的口氣說，“如果載著布什先生和布什太太的空軍一號被導彈擊落并炸成碎片，那將是一場災難。”
"That's right! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?" asks the President.
“對了!你能告訴我為什么那是災難嗎?”總統問。
"Well,” Johnny says, "because it wouldn’t be an accident and it sure as well wouldn't be a Great Loss.”
“哦，”約翰尼說:“因為那將不是意外，也絕對不是重大損失。”
