【笑话原文】

How Could Anyone Stoop So Low

Our manager at the restaurant where I worked was a much beloved, jovial man. But there was one subject you didn't dare discuss in front of him -- his height. Or, should I say, his lack of it. One day, he stormed through the door and announced angrily, Someone just picked my pocket! Most of my fellow waitresses and I were speechless, except for the one who blurted out, How could anyone stoop so low?

【中文译文】

哪有人能弯腰弯那么低的啊

我们的餐厅经理是一位深受大家爱戴，和蔼而又快乐的人。但在他面前有一件事不能提－－他的身高。或者，我应该说，他是有点矮！ 一天，经理怒气冲冲地撞门而入，高声说，有人拿了我的钱包！ 我和其她大部女招待都没敢吱声，但有人却蹦出一句话：哪有人能弯腰弯那么低的啊！
