故事一：

ew Discovery

新發現

A hillbilly was visiting the big city for the first time. Entering an office building, he saw a pudgy older woman step into a small room. The doors closed, lights flashed, and after a while the door slid open and a beautiful young model stepped off the elevator.

　

Blinking in amazement, the hillbilly drawled, "I should have brought my wife!"

　

鄉下人驚奇地眨著眼睛，慢吞吞地說：“我應該把我的老婆帶來!” 

故事二：

First Flight

第一次坐飛機 

　

Mr. Johnson had never been up in an aerophane before ， so one day when a friend offered to take him for a ride in his own small phane, Mr. Johnson was very worried about accepting. Finally, however, his friend persuaded him that it was very safe, and Mr. Johnson boarded the plane. 

　

約翰遜先生從前未乘過飛機。所以，有一天一位朋友邀請他乘自己的小飛機飛行時，約翰遜先生非常擔心，不敢接受。不過，由于朋友不斷保證說飛行是很安全的，約翰遜先生終于被說服了，登上了飛機。 

　

His friend started the engine and began to taxi onto the runway of the airport. Mr. Johnson had heard that the most dangerous part of a flight were the take-off and the landing, so he was extremely frightened and closed his eyes. 

 　

After a minute or two he opened them again, looked out of the window of the plane, and said to his friend, "Look at those people down there. They look as small as ants, don't they?" 

過了一兩分鐘，他睜開雙眼朝窗外望去，接著對朋友說道：“看下面那些人，他們看起來就象螞蟻一樣小，是不是？” 

　

"Those are ants," answered his friend. "We're still on the ground."

“那些就是螞蟻，”他的朋友答道，“我們還在地面上?！?/div>
