A Duel | 决斗

English Original

Little Pete came home from the playground with a bloody nose, black eye, and torn clothing.

It was obvious he'd been in a bad fight and lost. His father asked his son what happened. "Well, Dad," said Pete, "I challenged Larry to a duel. And, you know, I gave him his choice of weapons."

"Uh-huh," said the father, "that seems fair."

"I know, but I never thought he'd choose his sister!"


中文翻译

小彼得从操场回到家,鼻子流血,眼睛被打青了,衣服也被撕破了。

显然他刚经历了一场恶斗,而且打输了。父亲问儿子发生了什么事。"嗯,爸爸,"彼得说,"我向拉里发起决斗,而且我让他挑选武器。"

"哦,"父亲说,"这听起来很公平。"

"我知道,但我万万没想到他选了他姐姐!"
