Funding For Froggies | 青蛙贷款记

English Original

A frog enters a bank and approaches the teller. He sees from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.

"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan for a holiday."

Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog replies that his name is Kermit Jagger, his father is Mick Jagger, and that he knows the bank manager.

Patty explains he will need to provide collateral for the loan.

The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny, bright pink, perfectly formed porcelain elephant, about an inch tall.

Very confused, Patty says she must consult the manager and goes to a back office.

She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog named Kermit Jagger who claims to know you and wants a $30,000 loan, using this as collateral."

She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "What in the world is this?"

The bank manager looks at her and says:

"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."


中文翻译

一只青蛙走进银行,来到出纳员面前。他从她的名牌上看到她的名字是帕特里夏·瓦克。

“瓦克小姐,我想申请一笔3万美元的贷款去度假。”

帕蒂难以置信地看着青蛙,询问他的名字。青蛙回答说,他叫克米特·贾格尔,他的父亲是米克·贾格尔,并且他认识银行经理。

帕蒂解释说,他需要为贷款提供抵押物。

青蛙说:“当然。我有这个。”然后拿出一个约一英寸高、亮粉色、造型完美的小瓷象。

帕蒂非常困惑,说她必须咨询经理,便走进了后面的办公室。

她找到经理说:“外面有只叫克米特·贾格尔的青蛙,声称认识您,想借3万美元,并想用这个作抵押。”

她举起那个小小的粉色大象。“这到底是什么东西?”

银行经理看着她说道:

“这是个小玩意儿,帕蒂·瓦克。给青蛙贷款吧。他老爹可是个滚石(乐队成员)。”
