幽默故事

At the Police Station one day，the phone rang．A blonde came over the line to report robbery．She said that thieves have been in her car，they stole the steering wheel，the dashboard，the brake pedal，and even the accelerator．Before the Police could start the investigation，the phone rang a second time，and the same voice came over the line and said，“Don't worry I got in the back seat by mistake.”

参考译文

一天，警察局的电话响了，一位金发女郎打电话报案。她说小偷光顾了她的汽车，偷走了方向盘、仪表盘、刹车踏板，甚至油门踏板。警察还没来得及展开调查，电话又响了。电话线里传来的还是刚才那个声音，她说：“不用担心，我弄错了。我坐到后排座位上了。”
