巧合还是预见?
八十年代邓小平访问美国,刚出门就被一群记者拦住了,恰翻译不在,美国记者又想考考邓小平英语,就开始提问了。
第一个问题是:美国首都是哪里
邓小平想,见面第一个问题肯定是先问姓,就用四川土话回答:我姓邓(Washington)
记者想,啊,继续问:您的夫人来了都做了什么事
邓小平想,该问名了吧,回答:小平(shopping)
记者想,这英语可以啊,来了就购物,又接着问:您如何出行
邓小平想,该问年纪了吧,回答:80(bus)
记者都说,这英语可以啊,不行,得问点难的不回答的,问:您认为台湾下任领导会是谁
邓小平怎么都等不到翻译回来,不耐烦了,说:你等会(李登辉)
记者大吃一惊,这么敏感的问题也对答如流,估计翻译也该回来 了,赶紧再问个:下个呢
邓小平已经很不高兴了,说:随便啦(水扁啦)
这时候翻译已经走过来了,记者问最后一个:二十一世纪初期人类面临的最大问题是什么
邓小平黑着脸说:啥事(SARS)
二十年后,美国记者感叹,邓小平真是一代伟人,料事如神
P/S – received this forwarded email. Enjoy…
Hmm… I am not sure why it is named as pig flu. Does it have anything to do with pig? Pig flu is also known as swine influenza A (H1N1). If you are alive and stay connected with this world… You should know swine flu already. Try to search at Google if you still don’t know.
There are dying cases because of this swine flu. This is bad. There was SARS last few years. And here come another pig… flu… Luckily, I did not plan to travel lately. Staying at home is the best thing to do right now. Go out less. Malaysia still doesn’t have any case for the moment. Who know? It might have in near future. Hopefully, don’t have.
Look at the bright side… Go out less == spend less.
