Over the Counter | 柜台之上

English Original

A middle-aged man, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, walks into a Walmart and asks for the pharmacy. He is directed there and asks to see the pharmacist.

When the pharmacist appears, the man looks around furtively and whispers, "Do you sell Viagra here?"

The pharmacist replies firmly, "Yes, sir. We certainly do."

The man then asks, "Do you think I could get it over the counter?"

The pharmacist looks at him, compares his height to the counter, and says, "Perhaps if you took 5 or 6 pills at once you might."


中文翻译

一位身高约5英尺8英寸(约1.73米)的中年男子走进一家沃尔玛,询问药房位置。他被指引过去后,要求见药剂师。

药剂师出来后,男子鬼鬼祟祟地环顾四周,低声问道:“你们这里卖伟哥吗?”

药剂师坚定地回答:“是的,先生。我们当然卖。”

男子接着问:“你觉得我能从柜台上拿到它吗?”(注:"over the counter" 在英语中双关,既指“非处方药”,字面又指“越过柜台”)

药剂师看了他一会儿,将他的身高与柜台高度比较了一下,然后说:“也许你一次吃5、6片的话,可能够得着。”
