English Original
A man walked into the ladies' department of a Macy's store. He shyly approached the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife."
"What type of bra?" asked the clerk.
"Type?" inquired the man. "There is more than one type?"
"Look around," said the saleslady, gesturing to a vast array of bras in every shape, size, color, and material.
"Actually, even with all this variety, there are really only three types of bras," replied the salesclerk.
Confused, the man asked what the types were.
The saleslady replied, "The Catholic type, the Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type. Which one do you need?"
Still confused, the man asked, "What is the difference between them?"
The lady responded, "It's all quite simple. The Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen, and the Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills."

一位男士走进梅西百货的女装部。他害羞地走到柜台后的女士面前,说道:“我想给我妻子买一件胸罩。”
“什么类型的胸罩?”店员问道。
“类型?”男士询问道,“难道不止一种类型吗?”
“看看周围,”女售货员说,她指向各式各样、各种形状、尺寸、颜色和材质的胸罩。
“实际上,尽管有这么多种类,但胸罩真的只有三种类型,”售货员回答道。
男士感到困惑,便问是哪些类型。
女售货员回答说:“天主教型、救世军型和浸信会型。您需要哪一种?”
男士仍然困惑,问道:“它们之间有什么区别?”
女士回答道:“这其实很简单。天主教型支撑大众,救世军型扶起跌倒者,而浸信会型则小题大做(直译:把鼹鼠丘变成山)。”
