English Original
The patient was recovering after an operation. His friend came to visit him and asked how he was getting along.
"Well," the patient began, "after my first operation they had to cut me open again. The doctor had to take out the sponge left in me."
"But you got over it all right?"
"Oh, yes. Only I had another operation yesterday. They found that they had operated on the wrong part."
"Thank God. You're all right now, though," the friend said encouragingly.
At that time the doctor came in saying, "Has anyone seen my hat around here? I left it somewhere yesterday."
中文翻译
一位病人手术后正在恢复。他的朋友前来探望，询问他感觉如何。
“哎，”病人说道，“第一次手术后，他们不得不又给我开了一刀。医生得把忘在我体内的纱布取出来。”
“但你总算挺过来了，对吧？”
“噢，是的。只是昨天我又做了一次手术。他们发现之前开刀开错了地方。”
“感谢上帝，你现在总算没事了。”朋友安慰道。
就在这时，医生走进来问道：“有人在这儿看到我的帽子吗？我昨天把它忘在什么地方了。”
