通向真理的桥梁【1】(笑话,译文)
译自德文by me, 英文由Gemini proofread过:
The Bridge to Truth[1】
A man walks along a beach of the North Sea [2] and finds an old bottle. When he is cleaning it, the genie [3] suddenly appears. Grateful for the man who freed him, the genie grants the man a wish.
The Man: "I badly want to go to America, but I dare not to take an airplane and taking a ship makes me seasick, so please build a bridge to America for me."
Genie: "Sorry, that won't work. It would require an immense amount of work and would take forever. Please make another wish."
The Man: "That's too bad. But please help me to understand women."
Genie: "How many lanes [4] should your bridge have?"
通向真理的桥梁【1】
一个男人在北海【2】的沙滩上散步时捡到了一个旧瓶子。当他清洗瓶子的时候,一个基尼【3】突然出现了。基尼感谢它被解放,于是答应帮男人实现一个愿望。
男人:“我日夜向往去美洲去,但是我害怕乘飞机,乘船又晕船。请给我造一座通往美洲的桥吧。”
基尼:“对不起。那可不行。那是一个庞大的工程,一辈子也干不完。请另选一个愿望吧。:
男人:“真扫兴。那就行个好,告诉我怎样搞懂女人心吧?“
基尼:“那你的桥梁上要铺设多少条车道【4】呢?“

【3】. Genie 起源:Jinn是古阿拉伯神话中存在的超自然生物,由“无烟之火”或“灼热的空气”创造而成,先于人类被造。它们拥有自由意志,因此既可以是善良的,也可以是邪恶的,或者像人类一样处于中间地带。
下面是deepseek回答:
经典形象:在《一千零一夜》等文学作品中,Genie通常被描绘成拥有巨大魔力的巨人,可以被囚禁在神灯或瓶子里。当有人擦拭或打开容器时,Genie就会被释放出来,并必须满足释放者的愿望(通常是三个)。
著名例子:迪士尼动画电影《阿拉丁》(Aladdin)中的灯神(The Genie)就是对这个形象的现代化、友好化和喜剧化的完美诠释,由罗宾·威廉姆斯配音的角色深入人心。
【4】。Gemini回答:Building lanes on a bridge has nothing to do with understanding women. The punchline of the joke is a hyperbolic metaphor, implying that understanding women is so incredibly complex and difficult that building a multi-lane bridge across the Atlantic Ocean is a simpler, more achievable task.
