雙語笑話:感謝上帝 Praise the Lord
Then there was the preacher who decided to sell his horse. A prospective buyer was impressed with the animal, but the preacher said, " I must warn you-he only responds to 'church talk'. Go is 'Praise the Lord', and stop is 'Hallelujah"'.
"I've worked with horses all my life," said the buyer, "and I've never heard of anything like this." Mounting the horse, he said skeptically, " Praise the Lord." The horse began to trot. He repeated "Praise the Lord" and the horse broke into a gallop. Suddenly the buyer saw a cliff dead ahead. Frantic, he yelled "Hallelujah", and they came to a stop a foot from the edge.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, the buyer said, "Praise the Lord!"
欲買馬之人
傳教士決定賣掉他的馬。一位欲買馬之人看中了這匹馬，但傳教士說：“我必須警告你----他只懂‘教堂語言’。走是‘感謝上帝’，停是‘哈里路亞’。”
“我一生都在同馬打交道，”買馬之人說，“這樣的事我還是頭一次聽到。”他跨上馬，將信將疑地說：“感謝上帝。”馬開始小跑。他重複說“感謝上帝”，馬開始飛奔起來。突然買馬者看到前面是一個懸崖。他嚇壞了，匆忙喊道：“哈里路亞。”他們在離懸崖只有一英尺的地方停了下來。
買馬之人擦了擦額頭上的汗珠，說道：“感謝上帝！”
