837　My First Day with the Hook 第一天用假手

A sailor meets a pirate in a bar and they take turns boasting of their adventures on the high seas. The sailor notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, hook, and an eye patch. The sailor asks, “So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?” “We were in a storm at sea and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off.” “Wow!” said the sailor. “What about your hook?” “Well,” replied the pirate, “While my men and I were plundering in the Middle East, I was caught stealing from a merchant and the punishment for theft is the loss of the hand that steals.” “Incredible!” remarked the sailor. “How did you get the eye patch?” “A sea gull dropping fell into my eye.” replied the pirate. “You lost your eye to a sea gull dropping?” “Well,” said the pirate, “it was my first day with the hook.”

一个海员在酒店里碰到一个海盗。他们俩轮流吹嘘自己在惊涛骇浪里的冒险经历。海员注意到这个海盗有一条假腿、一只用钩子做的假手，还戴着一个黑眼罩。他问：“你怎么丢了那条腿？”“我们在海上遇到了大风暴，我被卷进大海，落到一群鲨鱼当中。正当我的伙伴把我拉上来的时候，鲨鱼咬掉了我的腿。”海员说：“噢，那么那只假手呢？”海盗回答说：“嗯，我和伙伴们在中东偷盗，我在偷一家商店的时候被抓到了。在那里对偷盗的惩罚是砍掉偷东西的那只手。”海员说：“真是令人难以相信。那你怎么戴上黑眼罩的呢？”海盗回答说：“嗨，一块海鸥粪掉进了我的眼睛。”“一块海鸥粪使你失去了眼睛？”海盗回答说：“不是，那是我第一天用假手。”
