双语幽默:去国会
To Congress
After voting on Election Day, I stopped at a bakery. As the cashier rang up some cinnamon rolls and doughnuts for the man ahead of me, the customer joked, "Do you guarantee there don't have any calories?"
Straight-faced, the clerk responsed, "Absolutely no calories."
"You know where you'll go if you lie like this?" the man teased.
"Yes," said the cashier. "To Congress."
去国会
选举日投票之后,我在一家面包店前停了下来。当收款员为排在我前面的人包起桂皮卷和炸面圈时,那名顾客开玩笑道:“你敢肯定这些东西不含任何卡路里?”
那名职员板着面孔回答说:“绝对没有卡路里。”
“你知道你那样撒谎会去哪儿吗?”那人取笑道。
“知道,”收款员说道,“去国会。”
