Camel Time | 骆驼报时

English Original

A tour bus in Egypt stopped in a town square. Tourists were shopping at the surrounding stalls. One tourist, whose watch was broken, leaned over to ask a local man squatting beside his camel, "What time is it, sir?"

The local reached out, gently cupped the camel's genitals in his hand, and lifted them up and down. "It's about 2:00," he said.

The astonished tourist ran back to the bus and confirmed it was indeed 2:00. He told his fellow travelers, "That man can tell time by the weight of the camel's genitals!"

A skeptical tourist went to verify. The same thing happened, and the time given was 2:05 p.m.

Finally, the bus driver, curious to know the secret, approached the local and asked how he did it.

The local replied, "Sit down here and grab the camel's genitals. Lift them up. Now, look underneath them to the other side of the courtyard, where that clock is hanging on the wall."


中文翻译

一辆旅游巴士在埃及的一个城镇广场停下。游客们正在周围的摊位购物。一位游客的手表坏了,他俯身询问蹲在骆驼旁的一位当地人:“先生,现在几点了?”

当地人伸出手,轻轻托起骆驼的生殖器,上下掂了掂。“大约两点钟,”他说。

惊讶的游客跑回巴士,确认时间确实是两点。他告诉同伴们:“那个人能通过骆驼生殖器的重量来判断时间!”

一位心存怀疑的游客前去验证。同样的事情发生了,被告知的时间是下午2点05分。

最后,好奇的巴士司机想知道其中的奥秘,他走过去问当地人是怎么做到的。

当地人回答说:“坐在这儿,抓住骆驼的生殖器。把它们抬起来。现在,从它们下面望过去,看向院子的另一边,那里有面钟挂在墙上。”
