幽默笑话精粹52: 愚蠢的对手

　　这是在新婚夫妇间进行游戏时发生的真实插曲。

　　The question was "What is your husband's favorite South American country?"

　　问题是:“说出你的丈夫最喜欢的一个南美洲的国家。”

　　The first wife answered Brazil.

　　第一个妻子的回答是巴西。

　　The second wife was a bit puzzled as to what the term "South American" meant. She answered "New Mexico.” The MC explained to her that that was an U. S. state, not a South American country. Still confused as to what this strange adjective" South American" meant, she answered "Mexico.”

　　第二个妻子对南美洲的概念不是很清楚，她答道:“新墨西哥”。婚礼主持人向她解释说那只是美国的一个州而不是南美的城市。但她还是没弄清楚哪是“南美洲”，于是回答:“那就是墨西哥”。

　　The third wife was sure of her answer. She wasn't as confused as wife number two and showed it. When it came time to give her answer, she answered very confidently "I know what my husband’s favorite South American country is: it's Africa” The MC allowed it.

　　第三个妻子对自己的回答显得胸有成竹，她不像刚才那个妻子那样感到困惑不解，当轮到她回答时，她信心百倍地说:“我丈夫最喜欢的南美洲国家是非洲!”主持人点了点头。

　　The fourth wife answered "Mexico" as well.

　　第四个妻子的答案同样是“墨西哥”。

　　The only husband to give the same answer as his wife was the fourth, who answered "Mexico.”

　　只有一位丈夫—第四位妻子的丈夫—给出了同妻子一样的答案:“墨西哥”。
