英文幽默哲理小故事
哲理主要探討人生的目的、價值、意義、態(tài)度等，相比理論化、系統(tǒng)化的哲學(xué)而言，它的表現(xiàn)形式通常是智慧箴言式。下面是小編整理的英文幽默哲理小故事，歡迎閱覽。
1、 現(xiàn)在我要表現(xiàn)得像一位女士
One day womens dresses were on sale at a department store. A dignified middle-aged man decided to pick a dress for his wife, but soon he found himself being battered by frantic women.
一天，一家百貨公司的`女裝大減價，一位高貴的中年男士想給他的太太挑選一件女裝。但是，沒過多久，他就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己已被瘋狂的女人們撞得踉踉蹌蹌。
He stood it as long as he could; then, with head lowered and arms flailing, he plowed through the crowd.
他竭力地忍耐著。后來，他低下頭，揮舞雙臂，擠過人群。
"You there!" challenged a thrilling voice. "Cant you act like a gentleman?"
“你干嘛?”有人尖聲叫道，“你難道不能表現(xiàn)得像一位紳士嗎?”
"Listen," he said. "I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour. From now on, I am acting like a lady."
“聽著，”他說。“我已經(jīng)像紳士一樣表現(xiàn)了一個小時了。從現(xiàn)在起，我要表現(xiàn)得像一位女士。”
2、 晚飯后我從不工作
A penny-pinching farmer didn’t want his hired hand to stop working. One morning, he told the farmhand, “It’s such a nuisance to come in from the field, wash up for lunch and take time to eat. Why don’t we save time and eat lunch now?”
The hired man agreed. The farm’s wife brought in some cold meat and fried potatoes, and the two men ate again.
When they had finished, the cheap farmer said, “While we’re still at the table, let’s have supper too.” They were now served steak, boiled potatoes and mixed vegetables, and they ate once more.
“Now that the meals are out of the way, ” the farmer announced, “we can go out and work all day without interruption. ”
“Oh, no,” the farmhand answered. “I never work after supper.”
一位農(nóng)場主非常吝嗇，不想讓他雇傭的幫手停下來休息。一天早上，他對幫手說：“從地里回來，又要洗手吃飯，又花時間，真是太不方便了。我們何不省點(diǎn)時間，現(xiàn)在就吃午飯呢?”
雇員同意了。農(nóng)場主的妻子端進(jìn)來一些冷肉和油炸土豆。于是，兩個人又開始吃起來。
吃完后，吝嗇鬼說：“既然我們還在桌子邊，讓我們連晚飯也吃了吧。”這次上桌的有排骨、煮土豆和雜燴青菜。于是兩個人又吃起來。
“現(xiàn)在三頓飯都吃過了，”農(nóng)場主宣稱道，“我們便可以出去一整天不停地干活了。”
“哦，不，”那幫手回答說，“晚飯后我從不工作。”
