安老師中英文寫作翻譯教室

A little kid gets on a city bus, sits right behind the driver, and starts talking loudly, "If my dad was a bull and my mom a cow, I'd be a little bull."

一個小男孩搭上公車，坐在司機的正後方，開始大聲說話，”如果我爹是公牛，我媽是母牛，我會是小公牛。”

The driver gets annoyed as the kid continues to yammer on. "If my dad was a rooster and my mom a hen, I would be a little chick."

司機對這孩子不停的嚷嚷覺得很煩。”如果我爹是公雞，我媽是母雞，我會是隻小雞。”

The kid goes on and on with all the animals he knows, when finally, the bus driver yells, "What if your dad was a bum and your mom was a drunk?"

這孩子一說再說直到說完他知道的所有動物，最後，公車司機大聲說，”如果你爹是流浪漢，你媽是酒鬼呢?”

The kid smiles and says, "I'd be a bus driver."

這孩子笑了笑說，”我會是公車司機。”
