Car Trouble | 汽车抛锚

English Original

A rabbi, a monk, and a lawyer are driving when their car breaks down in a remote area.

They spot a farmhouse and ask the farmer for a place to stay overnight while waiting for a tow truck.

"I have room in the house for two of you," says the farmer, "but someone will have to sleep in the barn."

The rabbi volunteers, "I have no problem with that. I'll go." He leaves for the barn.

Five minutes later, there is a knock on the door. The farmer opens it to find the rabbi.

"Sir, there is a pig in that barn," explains the rabbi. "In my religion, pigs are unclean. I cannot sleep under the same roof with a pig."

The monk then speaks up, "I have no problem with pigs. I'll go sleep in the barn." He leaves.

Five minutes later, another knock. The farmer opens the door to find the monk.

"Sir, there is a cow in that barn," says the monk. "In my religion, cows are sacred. I cannot sleep under the same roof with a cow."

The lawyer responds, "I'll go sleep in the barn. I have no religion." He leaves.

Five minutes later, there is yet another knock. The farmer opens the door. This time, the pig and the cow are standing there.


中文翻译

一位拉比、一位僧侣和一位律师正在开车,结果他们的汽车在一个偏远地区抛锚了。

他们看到一座农舍,便向农夫请求借宿一晚,等待拖车。

农夫说:“我房子里能住下两个人,但必须有一个人睡在谷仓里。”

拉比自告奋勇:“我没问题,我去吧。”说完便去了谷仓。

五分钟后,有人敲门。农夫开门,发现是拉比。

拉比解释道:“先生,谷仓里有一头猪。在我的宗教里,猪是不洁的。我不能和猪同处一个屋檐下。”

僧侣随即说道:“我对猪没问题。我去谷仓睡吧。”说完便离开了。

五分钟后,又有人敲门。农夫开门,发现是僧侣。

僧侣说:“先生,谷仓里有一头牛。在我的宗教里,牛是神圣的。我不能和牛同处一个屋檐下。”

律师回应道:“我去谷仓睡吧。我没有宗教信仰。”说完便离开了。

五分钟后,敲门声再次响起。农夫打开门。这一次,站在门外的是那头猪和那头牛。
