First Day as a Cab Driver | 出租车司机的第一天

English Original

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, swerved onto the footpath, and stopped just centimetres from a shop window.

The driver said, "Look mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!"

The passenger apologized, "I didn't realize a little tap would scare you so much."

The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver. I've been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years."


中文翻译

一位出租车乘客轻拍司机的肩膀想问个问题。司机惊叫起来,车辆失控,险些撞上一辆公交车,冲上了人行道,最终在距离商店橱窗仅几厘米的地方停了下来。

司机说:“喂,伙计,别再这么干了。你把我魂都吓飞了!”

乘客道歉说:“我没想到轻轻一拍会把你吓成这样。”

司机回答道:“对不起,这也不全是你的错。今天是我第一天开出租车。过去25年里,我一直开的是灵车。”
