动物笑话：2、 A dead kitty 一只死猫

2. A dead kitty

Once there was a man named Jim, who let his dog out to relieve1 himself one night. He watched some TV and remembered to let the dog back in. When he opened the door, he was shocked at what he saw! In his dog's mouth was his neighbor's cat, dead! "Bad dog! Bad dog!" said the paniced man. He took the cat away and looked at it. He couldn't bring himself to tell his neighbor what happened, so he decided to clean it up and leave it on the neighbor's porch. He took the cat into the bathroom and washed off all the blood and dirt. He had to wash it four times to get it all cleaned. Since it was so dark, he snuck into the neighbor's yard, and laid the cat down on the porch3.

The next day, he was on his way to the car to go to work and his neighbor was outside. "Hi." He said. "Hi." Replied Jim, nervously. His neighbor said, "something weird happened last night." "Oh yeah? What's that?" Asked Jim, sweating now. "Well, my cat died yesterday, and we buried him, and this morning he was lying on my front porch!"

Notes:

1. relieve 解救，放松

2. panic 惊慌，慌张

一只死猫

以前有个叫吉姆的男子，一天晚上，他让狗自己出去放松一下。他看了一会电视，想起要让狗进屋来。当他打开门，不禁为自己看到的情景惊呆了！在他家狗的嘴里是邻居家的猫，已经死了！“坏狗！坏狗！”痛苦的男子叫道。他从狗嘴里抢过猫，看了看。他无法面对邻居告诉他发生了什么，于是他决定把死猫洗干净并放在邻居家的门廊前。他把死猫拿到浴室，把所有的血迹和脏土都洗掉了。他整整洗了四次才把死猫给弄干净。由于天还黑，他悄悄地溜进邻居家的院子，把死猫放在门廊前。

第二天，当他走向自己的小车准备去上班时，他的邻居刚好在外面。“嗨”，邻居招呼道。“嗨”，吉姆答应着，很是不安。他的邻居说：“昨晚发生了一件奇怪的事情。”“哦，是吗？是什么啊？”吉姆汗流浃背地问道。“呃，我的猫昨天死了，我们埋了它，可是今天早上它却躺在我家门廊前！”

西方人对狗情有独钟，认为它善解人意，就像家庭成员一样。许多家庭都将狗作为宠物饲养在家。而且，在西方人眼中，狗肉一律要被禁食，犯禁者即“野蛮人”。
