Uncle Sam and the Farmer | 山姆大叔与农夫

English Original

Uncle Sam doesn't like farmers. He thinks they are very foolish and only know how to work on the farm.

One winter morning, the sun is shining. Uncle Sam sits on the steps of his house. At that moment, a farmer with a map in his hand approaches him.

Farmer: Excuse me, Uncle. Could you tell me how to get to the hospital, please?

Uncle Sam: Lie down in the middle of the street, and you'll soon be at a hospital.

Farmer: Please set an example for me.

Uncle Sam: I think this is your first time in our city. It's much more beautiful than the fields, isn't it?

Farmer: Yes, Uncle. But it is built on the fields.

Uncle Sam's face turns red.


中文翻译

山姆大叔不喜欢农夫。他认为他们非常愚蠢,只知道在农场干活。

一个冬日的早晨,阳光明媚。山姆大叔坐在自家门前的台阶上。这时,一位手里拿着地图的农夫向他走来。

农夫: 打扰一下,大叔。请问您能告诉我怎么去医院吗?

山姆大叔: 在马路中间躺下,你很快就能到医院了。

农夫: 那请您先给我示范一下。

山姆大叔: 我想你是第一次来我们城市吧。这里比田野漂亮多了,对吧?

农夫: 是的,大叔。但这座城市是建在田野之上的。

山姆大叔的脸变红了。
