Three Friends' Funerals | 三位朋友的葬礼

English Original

Three friends—a doctor, a teacher, and a lawyer—were driving on the highway one Saturday. Suddenly, a brand-new SUV cut them off. To avoid it, the driver swerved left, hit the median, and the car flipped several times. All three died instantly.

They found themselves waiting in line to enter Heaven. The doctor asked the others, "What do you want people to say at your funeral? I want them to say, 'She was a great doctor who never let down her patients.'"

The teacher said, "I want to be remembered as a great educator. I'd like to hear, 'He was a wonderful teacher, a role model for children, who changed countless lives.'"

The lawyer then said, "I'd like people to say, 'Look! He's moving!'"


中文翻译

一个周六,三位朋友——一位医生、一位老师和一位律师——正驾车行驶在高速公路上。突然,一辆崭新的SUV超车抢道。为了躲避这辆闪亮的大车,司机向左急转,撞上了中央隔离带,车辆翻滚了数圈。三人当场死亡。

他们发现自己正在排队等待进入天堂。医生问其他两人:“你们希望人们在你们的葬礼上说什么?我希望他们说,‘她是一位伟大的医生,从未让任何病人失望。’”

老师说:“我希望被铭记为一位伟大的教育家。我想听到人们说,‘他是一位出色的老师,是孩子们的榜样,他改变了许多人的命运。’”

律师接着说:“我希望人们说,‘看!他在动!’”
