金发女郎与绵羊【1】（笑话，译文）
译自法语by me, 英语由Gemini proofread过
The Blonde and the Sheep
A blonde decides to change her hair color. She is fed up with the rotten jokes about blondes, so she dyes her hair brunette. Afterward, she goes on vacation to the Pyrenees 【2】. On a beautiful sunny day, while hiking through the stunning mountains, she stops to admire a multitude of sheep scattered here and there, grazing peacefully. An old shepherd, sitting quietly in the shade of an oak tree, wishes her a good day. The beautiful brunette—pardon, the beautiful blonde disguised as a brunette—addresses the old man:
"Hello, shepherd. If I tell you the exact number of sheep around you, would you give me one?"
The question seems absurd to the shepherd, but amused, he accepts the challenge. The girl immediately shouts out a number:
"Four hundred twenty-two sheep!"
"Incredible," says the old man. "You won! Choose a sheep, miss."
"Great! I'll take this one, it’s the most beautiful!"
"Miss," the shepherd then says, "if I can guess your real hair color, can I have my dog back?"
金发女郎与绵羊
一个金发女郎决定改变自己头发的颜色。她听腻了看不起金发女郎的坏笑话，所以她把自己的头发染成深褐色。然后她到比利牛斯山度假。一个大晴天，在漂亮的群山漫步时，她停下脚步被眼前的一群边吃草边行的绵羊所吸引。一个老牧羊人静静地坐在橡树下乘凉，向她问好。这个深褐色头发的女人--抱歉，这个漂亮的金发女郎化妆成的深褐色头发的女人—向老牧羊人发问：
“你好，牧羊人。如果我能给你一个你的绵羊的总数，你能给我一只绵羊吗？”
牧羊人觉得这个问题太荒唐，却很滑稽，就答应了。这个姑娘脱口而出一个数字：
“422只！”
“简直难以置信，” 老人说, “你赢了！小姐，你挑一只绵羊吧。”
“真棒！我选中这只，它是最漂亮的！”
“小姐，“ 于是牧羊人就说， ”如果我猜中你头发的颜色，我能把我的狗要回来吗？“

The Pyrenees (Pirineos, Pyrénées, etc.) are a major mountain range in southwest Europe forming a natural border between France and Spain, stretching from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, and home to the independent nation of Andorra. Known for rugged landscapes, hiking, skiing, and unique cultures like the Basques, its highest peak is Pico de Aneto, and it's also famous for the large, white working dog breed, the Great Pyrenees.
