Fill It with Water! | 注满水!

English Original

Osama Bin Laden, a Canadian, and President Bush were walking down the street when they saw a golden lamp. They rubbed it, and a genie appeared.

"I will grant each of you one wish," said the genie, "three wishes in total."

The Canadian spoke first: "I am a father, and my son will be a farmer. I wish for Canada's soil to be forever fertile." The genie uttered some magic words, and the wish was granted.

Impressed, Osama Bin Laden said, "I wish for a wall around Afghanistan." Again, the genie spoke, and the wish came true.

President Bush then asked, "Genie, tell me more about this wall."

"It is 50 feet thick and 500 feet tall," replied the genie. "Nothing can get in, and nothing can get out."

President Bush exclaimed, "Wow! That's a big bridge. Fill it with water!"


中文翻译

奥萨马·本·拉登、一个加拿大人和布什总统走在街上,看到了一盏金色的灯。他们擦了擦灯,一个精灵出现了。

精灵说:“我将满足你们每人一个愿望,总共三个愿望。”

加拿大人首先开口:“我是个父亲,我儿子将成为一名农夫。我希望加拿大的土地永远肥沃。”精灵念了咒语,愿望实现了。

本·拉登看了很惊讶,说道:“我希望有一座城墙环绕阿富汗。”精灵再次念咒,愿望又实现了。

布什总统接着问道:“精灵,请多告诉我一些关于这堵墙的事。”

精灵回答:“墙厚50英尺,高500英尺,里面的任何东西都出不来,外面的任何东西也进不去。”

布什总统惊叹道:“哇!那是座大桥啊。把它注满水!”
