The Special Pig | 特别的猪

English Original

Farmer Jones got out of his car and, while heading for his friend's door, noticed a pig with a wooden leg. His curiosity aroused, he asked, "Fred, how did that pig get a wooden leg?"

"Well, Michael, that's a mighty special pig!" Fred replied. "A while back, a wild boar attacked me in the woods. That pig came running, chased the boar away, and saved my life!"

"And the boar injured his leg?"
"No, he was fine after that. But later, we had a fire that started in the shed next to the barn. That old pig started squealing, woke us up, and herded all the other animals out of the barn before we even got there. He saved them all!"

"So that's when he hurt his leg?"
"No, Michael. He was just a bit winded. Another time, my tractor rolled into a pond, and I was knocked out. When I came to, that pig had dived in and dragged me out before I drowned. He saved my life again."

"And that was when he hurt his leg?"
"Oh no, he was fine. We cleaned him up."

"Okay, Fred. Just tell me, how did he get the wooden leg?"

"Well," the farmer said, "a pig like that, you don't want to eat all at once."


中文翻译

农夫琼斯下了车,走向朋友家门时,注意到一头装着木腿的猪。他好奇地问:“弗雷德,那头猪怎么装了条木腿?”

“迈克尔,那可是头非常特别的猪!”弗雷德回答。“不久前,我在树林里被一头野猪袭击。那头猪跑过来,赶走了野猪,救了我的命!”

“所以野猪弄伤了它的腿?”
“不,那次它没事。但后来,我们谷仓旁的棚屋起火了。那头老猪尖叫起来,吵醒了我们,赶着所有其他动物在火势蔓延前逃出了谷仓。它救了所有动物!”

“所以是那次伤了腿?”
“不,迈克尔。它只是有点喘。还有一次,我的拖拉机翻进了池塘,我被撞晕了。等我醒来,那头猪已经跳进池塘,在我淹死之前把我拖了出来。它又救了我一命。”

“那是它伤到腿的时候?”
“哦不,它好好的。我们还给它洗干净了。”

“好吧,弗雷德。直接告诉我,它怎么装了木腿?”

“这个嘛,”农夫说,“像这样的猪,你总不能一次就吃完吧。”
