Screening Process | 天堂筛选

English Original

A young man dies and finds himself third in line at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter is on a break, so an angel is handling admissions.

The angel explains to the three newcomers that due to many drug dealers and criminals having sneaked into Heaven, St. Peter has had to tighten the screening process. Each person must state their former occupation and annual salary.

The first man says, "I was an actor, and I earned $1 million last year."
The angel replies, "Okay, you may enter."

He then asks the woman in line. She states, "I earned $150,000 as an attorney."
The angel thinks for a moment and lets her in as well.

Finally, he turns to the third man and asks, "What have you done with your life?"
The man replies, "I earned $8,000 last year..."
"Oh," the angel interrupts. "What did you teach?"


中文翻译

一位年轻人去世后,发现自己排在通往天堂的珍珠门前第三位。圣彼得正在休息,所以由一位天使负责准入工作。

天使向三位新来者解释说,由于许多毒贩和其他罪犯设法溜进了天堂,圣彼得不得不收紧筛选流程。每个人必须说明自己生前的职业和年薪。

第一个人说:“我曾是一名演员,去年赚了100万美元。”
天使回答:“好的,你可以进去了。”

接着他询问队伍中的女士。她说:“我是一名律师,年薪15万美元。”
天使思考片刻,也让她进去了。

最后,他转向第三个人问道:“你生前是做什么的?”
那人回答:“我去年赚了8000美元……”
“哦,”天使打断了他。“你教的是什么科目?”
