892　Those fools! 这帮笨蛋！

Two men were walking home after a party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery. Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones. “Holy cow, Mister,” one of them said, “You scared us half to death—we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing here so late at night?” “Those fools!” the old man grumbled. “They misspelled my name!”

两个男人开完晚会以后走回家去，他们决定从墓地抄近路。走到墓地的当中，他们俩被从神秘的阴影里传来的“答答答”的响声吓了一跳。他们战战兢兢地找到一个老头，手里拿着锤子和凿子在墓碑上凿。他们中的一个说：“天哪！你把我们吓得半死。我们以为你是鬼呢！半夜三更你在这里干什么？”老头嘟嘟囔囔地说：“这帮笨蛋。他们把我的名字拼错了。”
