Where Are the Tails? | 尾巴哪去了?

English Original

The lecturer on evolution had been speaking for nearly two hours. He then began again, saying: "Let me ask the evolutionist a question — if we had tails like a baboon, where are they?"

"I'll venture an answer," said an old lady. "We have worn them off sitting here so long."


中文翻译

讲授进化论的讲师已经滔滔不绝地讲了快两个小时。接着,他又开始了,说道:“让我向进化论者提个问题——如果我们曾经像狒狒那样长着尾巴,那么现在尾巴到哪里去了?”

“我来试着回答一下,”一位老太太说,“我们在这里坐得太久,把它们给磨掉了。”
