Bob is walking down a country road when he spots Farmer Harris standing in the middle of a huge field of corn doing absolutely nothing. Bob, curious to find out what's happening, walks all the way out to the farmer and asks him,
Bob走在乡村的路上,他看到农民Harris站在一大片玉米田中,啥都没干。Bob很好奇,想知道发生了什么,于是他穿过田间小路,来到农民的面前问他:
'Excuse me Farmer Harris, could you tell me what you are doing?'
'I'm trying to win a Nobel Prize, 'the farmer replies.
'A Nobel Prize?' enquires Bob, puzzled. 'How?'
'Well, I heard they give the Nobel Prize to people who are out standing in their field.’
(双关:outstanding in their field)
“不好意思,你能告诉我你在干嘛吗?”
“我正在努力,赢取一个诺贝尔奖。” 这位农民回答道。
“诺贝尔奖?” Bob疑惑的询问道,“怎么做到呢?”
“我听说他们会把诺贝尔奖给那些在他们的田地里站着的人。”(在他们的领域很出色的人)
