Not So Fast | 别那么急

English Original

A pig and a chicken were walking by a church where a gala charity event was taking place.

Getting caught up in the spirit, the pig suggested to the chicken that they each make a contribution.

"Great idea!" the chicken cried. "Let's offer them ham and eggs?"

"Not so fast," said the pig testily. "For you, that's a contribution. For me, it's a total commitment."


中文翻译

一只猪和一只鸡路过一所教堂,那里正举办一场盛大的慈善活动。

受现场气氛感染,猪向鸡提议,它们各自都做点贡献。

“好主意!”鸡叫道,“我们给它们提供火腿和鸡蛋怎么样?”

“别那么急,”猪不耐烦地说,“对你来说,那只是一份贡献。对我来说,那可是彻底的献身。”
