一个男人告诉他的朋友自己婚姻幸福美满的秘密,“小事都由我妻子决定,”他解释说:“而我只管大事,我们从不互相干涉,从不生对方的气。我们从来没有抱怨、没有争吵。”
"That sounds reasonable," answered his friend sympathetically. "And what sort of decisions does your wife make?"
“听起来很有道理,”他的朋友深有同感,“有哪些事情由你妻子作决定呢?”
"Well," answered the man, "she decides what jobs I apply for, what sort of house we live in, what furniture we have, where we go for our holidays, and things like that."
“嗯,”那个人回答说:“她决定我申请什么工作,我们住什么房子,买什么家具,去哪里度假这些事情。”
His friend was surprised. "Oh?" he said. "And what do you consider important decisions then?"
他的朋友很惊奇的问道:“哦?那么你决定哪些重要事情?”
"Well," answered the man, "I decide who should be Prime Minister, whether we should increase our help to poor countries, what we should do about the atom bomb, and things like that."

老外海明威学汉语、说汉语的经典笑话 夜宵夜排挡 夜里11点半,我在网上。Hemingway(海明威)突然来电话,说是请我吃夜宵。怕我不去,开车来接我。得了!推托不了!去吧! “你也别来接了,我自己开车吧。去哪?” “夜排挡怎样?” “哈!你饭店吃腻了吧?” “嘿嘿嘿!” 约好了在香港滩夜排挡见面。海明威是美国一家跨国大公司驻华代表,待人接物还不错。来华工作一年,跟我学了一年汉语。他的语感非常好,在学语言上他有着特殊的能力。他到过许多国家,学过许多“外语”,虽然谈不上样样精通,但至少能够运用。他感觉世界上所有语言中汉语最难学。在学汉语中,他还闹出了许多非常经典的笑话。虽然磕磕碰碰,但学得还不错。 我们几乎同时到达,我选了一家比较干净、条件较好的排挡店。 谁知刚进门,海明威就用很流利的汉语大嗓门喊着: “老板!小便炒饭味道好吗?” 吓我一跳!我急忙拦住他: “What?……What do you mean?”(什么?你什么意思?) 店老板愣愣地地望着海明威,所有客人都朝这边看,还有人在说: “来了个老外找茬闹事的!”“扁他!” 望着大家不解的目光,海明威三步并两步跑到门外,扛进来一个大牌子,当厅一放。上书: 小 便 炒 饭 大家愣了五秒种,然后一阵哄堂大笑。 汉语课本 海明威刚开始学汉语的自选教材是BBC广播公司出版的汉语课本。该书扉页上的广告词甚有煽动力,声称特别适合旅游者和商人的速成初级汉语,完全无汉语基础者也能“一看就会说”。 翻遍全书都找不着一个汉字,通篇皆是英文和汉语拼音,整个一本文盲汉语教科书。据说此书是专门为那些放弃学习像天书一样难学的汉字,只打算学会说点汉语口语者预备的。由于完全不看汉字单纯读拼 海明威一见翻译的面就自豪地卖弄起自己的汉语学问来:“你嚎( 好)小姐刘,我恨歌星(很高兴)扔死你(认识你)。” 海明威很珍惜与中国人的对话机会,笑话便层出不穷,比如他告诉秘书:“我的媳妇 (西服)在皮包里。”为了谈协议,我们约好八点种在我办公室见面。“今天早上担心马路太忙,我七点就‘出家了 ’。”他的好友回国了,于是海明威经常念叨的是:“一个火人(好人),飞去了(回去了)。”每次走到楼梯口,海明威都会略微躬着身,一派典型的绅士风度,口中念念有词:“请小心裸体(楼梯),下流、下流,一起下流(下楼)吧。 望文生意 海明威:“你们中国人的确是一个勤奋的民族。” 秘书:“怎见得?” 海明威:“每当我早晨经过街道,常常可以看到路旁的招牌写着‘早点’两个大字,提醒过路上班的人,不要迟到。” 无法控制 海明威参加“普通话演讲比赛”,他的开场白是这样的:“诸位女士、诸位先生,我首先得向各位道歉,我的普通话说得不好。我与贵国语文的关系就如同我跟太太的关系一样,我很爱它,却又无法控制它。” 红烧屁股 初到中国海明威踏进饭馆开口就将包子说成为“报纸”,服务小姐还真耐心解释:“马路对面卖报纸,日报、晚报一应俱全。” 想吃饺子,遗憾的是冲口而出的却是“轿子”,听得服务小姐如坠云雾之中。 尤其令服务小姐莫名其妙甚至气愤的是,他居然要求“红烧屁股”,并声称这是他最喜爱的一道中国名菜。见服务小姐的脸色不悦甚至恼怒起来,海明威急忙将菜单指给她看。女侍者这才明白原来他是想吃“红烧排骨”。 很好与更好 海明威刚来中国不久时,他只会说两句中国话:“很好”、“更好”。 一天,一位职员说:“我要请假两星期。” 海明威说:“很好。” 仆人说:“因为我父亲死了。” 海明威说:“更好。” 不是东西 海明威召开全体职员大会:“中国人把物品称为‘东西’,例如桌椅、电视机……等等,但是有生命的动物就不称东西,例如虫、鸟、兽、人……等等,所以,你们和它们都不是东西,我自然也不是东西!” 便饭 一次宴请海明威,中方代表客气地告诉他今晚为他准备了一餐便饭时,这位洋老兄望着满桌山珍海味吃惊道:“如果说这是一餐便饭,那可真正是一餐‘大便饭’了。” 搞得我一个晚上没胃口。
