Nuns in the Country | 乡间修女

English Original

Two nuns were driving down a country road when they ran out of gas. They walked to a farmhouse and a farmer gave them some gasoline; but the only container he had was an old bedpan. The nuns were happy to take whatever they were offered and returned to their car.

As they were pouring the gasoline from the bedpan into the tank of their car, a minister drove by. He stopped, rolled down his window and said, “Excuse me, sisters. I’m not of your religion, but I couldn’t help admiring your faith!”


中文翻译

两位修女驾车行驶在乡间小路上,汽油耗尽了。她们走到一所农舍,一位农夫给了她们一些汽油;但他唯一的容器是一个旧的便盆。修女们欣然接受了所提供的一切,回到了车上。

正当她们将汽油从便盆倒入汽车油箱时,一位牧师开车经过。他停下车,摇下车窗说道:“打扰一下,姐妹们。我并非你们的教友,但我实在忍不住要钦佩你们的信仰!”
