在产房等候室里【1】(笑话,译文)
译自法语by me, 英语由Gemini proofread过
In the Maternity Ward
In the waiting room of a maternity ward, four fathers-to-be are waiting for their wives who are delivering their babies.
A nurse enters and announces to the first man that he is the happy father of twins. “What a coincidence!” he exclaims. “I work in Nikon Optics, in the twins 【2】department!”
A moment later, the nurse comes back and addresses the second man: “Sir, you are the father of triplets.” “That is also quite a coincidence! It truly is, because I’m employed by 3 Suisses【3】.”
Forty-five minutes later, the nurse announces to the third man that his wife has given birth to superb quadruplets. The father exclaims: “This is unbelievable! I work at the Les Quatre-Temps【4】 commercial center in La Défense【5】!”
Everyone now turns to the fourth man, who faints. Regaining consciousness slowly, he murmurs: “I should have never accepted such a position at the NRJ12 television channel 【6】.”
在产房等候室里
在产房的等候室里,4个即将成为父亲的人在等他们的儿女的诞生。
一个护士进来告诉第一个男人,他成了双胞胎的幸福的父亲。他说:”多么巧合的事!我在Nikon光学部,在双胞胎【2】部门工作!”
一会儿,护士又回来告诉第二个男人: “先生,你成了三胞胎的父亲。“
“那也是那么凑巧”,他说,“我正好是3 SUISSES【3】的雇员!”
45分钟后,护士告诉第三个男人说他的太太生了个超乎常人的四胞胎。
这个父亲宣称:“现在真是不可相信!我在La Defense【5】区的4季【4】购物中心工作!”
这时每个人的眼光都投向了第4个男人,因为他几乎昏了过去。当天慢慢清醒了一些的时候,他喃喃自语:
“我要是那时没有接受 NRJ 12 电视台【6】的工作就好了。”
