A Fishy Story | 一条昂贵的鱼

English Original

Two avid fishermen go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment: the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. They spend a fortune.

The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men catches a fish.

As they're driving home they're really depressed. One guy turns to the other and says, "Do you realize that this one lousy fish we caught cost us fifteen hundred dollars?"

The other guy says, "Wow! It's a good thing we didn't catch any more!"


中文翻译

两位狂热的钓鱼爱好者进行了一次垂钓之旅。他们租用了所有装备:渔线轮、钓竿、涉水服、划艇、汽车,甚至还有一间林中小屋。为此,他们花了一大笔钱。

第一天他们去钓鱼,但一无所获。第二天、第三天也是如此。情况就这样持续着,直到假期的最后一天,其中一人才钓到一条鱼。

开车回家的路上,他们非常沮丧。一个人对另一个人说:“你意识到没有?我们钓到的这条破鱼花了我们一千五百美元?”

另一个人说:“哇!幸好我们没有钓到更多!”
