998　Black and Gus 布莱克和嘎斯

A livestock truck overturned in my town, and the accident made the local news. The young reporter who covered the story declared on camera, “Two cows, Black and Gus, escaped into nearby woods.” At the studio there was muffled laughter as they cut to a commercial. After the break, the reporter sheepishly added, “About that overturned truck-make those Black Angus cattle.”

一辆运送牲畜的卡车在我们小镇上翻了车，这个事故成了当地新闻。报道这个故事的年轻播音员在摄像机面前宣称：“两头牛，布莱克和嘎斯逃进了附近的树林里。”节目切换到广告去以后，在演播厅里有人掩住嘴在笑。广告结束后，年轻播音员不好意思地更正说：“关于刚才运送牲畜的卡车的事，应该是一头黑色安格斯奶牛。”
