Don't Argue with Children | 莫与孩童争辩

English Original

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because, even though it is a very large mammal, its throat is very small.

The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

The little girl said, "Well, when I get to Heaven, I will ask Jonah."

The teacher asked, sarcastically, "What if Jonah went to Hell?"

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."


中文翻译

一个小女孩正在和她的老师谈论鲸鱼。

老师说,鲸鱼从生理结构上不可能吞下一个人,因为尽管它是一种非常庞大的哺乳动物,但它的喉咙非常小。

小女孩说,约拿(圣经人物)就是被鲸鱼吞下的。

老师有些恼火,重申鲸鱼不可能吞下一个人,这在生理结构上行不通。

小女孩说:“好吧,等我到了天堂,我去问约拿。”

老师讽刺地问道:“那要是约拿下了地狱呢?”

小女孩回答说:“那你去问他。”
