曾打到过一头驼鹿。我到纽约的西北边狩猎，我打到了一头驼鹿。我把他捆在我车子的前杠上。
And I'm driving home along the west side highway,but what I didn't realize was, that the bullet did notpenetrate the moose.
我沿着西边公路驱车回家。但是我当时没意识到子弹并没有穿透这头驼鹿。

And I'm very panicky, and then it hits me: some friends of mine is having a costume party.
因此我感到特别紧张，可我突然想起来：我有几个朋友正在举办化装舞会。
I'll go, I'll take the moose, I'll ditch him at the party. It wouldn't be my responsibility.
我这就过去。我要带上驼鹿一块去，然后在舞会上把他甩掉，那样就不是我的责任了。
So I drive up to the party and I knock on the door.
于是我开车来到舞会地点，敲响了房门。
The moose is next to me. My host comes to the door. I say "Hello. You know the Solomons".
驼鹿就站在我旁边。舞会的主人过来开门，我说：“你好啊。你应该认识所罗门吧。”
