狗也知道这个谚语吗

The little boy did not like the look of the barking dog.

一个小男孩非常不喜欢狗狂叫的样子。

"It's all right," said a gentleman, "don't be afraid. Don't you know the proverb: Barking dogs don't bite?"

“没有关系，”一位先生说，“不用害怕，你知道这条谚语吗：‘吠狗不咬人。”

"Ah, yes," answered the little boy. "I know the proverb, but does the dog know the proverb, too?"

“啊，我是知道，可是狗也知道吗?”

智慧乐观的父亲

I had iust learned to drive and, like most teen-agers，begged at every opportunity to take over the wheel. During a family vacation my father finally allowed me drive on a long，straight stretch on highway.I was in my glory until there was a sudden turn in the road.Caught unaware, I swung too wide and ran into a service station's advertising sign. I stopped the cat and waited for a lecture.

像大多数的青少年一样，我刚学会开车时，总想利用一切开车的机会。有一次家庭外出度假时，我经过请求，爸爸终于允许我在笔直的高速公路止驾驶。我感到十分荣幸，直到开到了一个急转弯，由于转盘转动得太大，车直奔着加油站的广告牌冲去。我停下了车，等着挨训。

My father，always considerate of his children's feelings，turned back to the rest of family and said. "As long as we're here,does anyone need to use the rest room?"

我的父亲总是考虑到孩子的情绪，转过身对家里的其他人说:“既然我们已经把车开到了这儿，有人想上厕所吗?”

"You can't imagine how difficult it is for me to deal with my wife," the man complained to his friend.“

你根本无法想象和我妻子打交道是多么的难，”一个男人对他的朋友诉苦说，

"She asks me a question, then answers it herself, and after that she explained to me for half an hour why my answer is wrong.“

她问我一个问题，然后自己回答了，过后又花半个小时跟我解释为什么我的答案是错的。”
