I Was the Foreman | 我是领班

English Original

Peter was telling a friend that he had just lost his job.

"Why did the foreman fire you?" the friend asked in surprise.

"Oh," Peter said, "you know how foremen are. They stand around with their hands in their pockets watching everybody else work."

"We all know that," replied his friend. "But why did he let you go?"

"Jealousy," answered Pete. "All the other workers thought I was the foreman."


中文翻译

皮特告诉一位朋友,他刚刚丢了工作。

“为什么领班会开除你?”朋友惊讶地问。

“哦,”皮特说,“你知道领班是什么样的人。他们总是把手插在口袋里,站在一旁看其他人工作。”

“我们都知道是这样,”朋友回答说,“但他为什么让你走呢?”

“嫉妒,”皮特回答,“其他所有的工人都以为我才是领班。”
