Good Fortune, Bad Fortune
好運(yùn)和霉運(yùn)
A frog goes to have his fortune told.
有只青蛙跑去算命。
The fortuneteller looks at his little webbed palm and says, “Aha! You‘re about to meet a beautiful young lady who is going to want to know everything about you.”
算命師看著他小小的有蹼手掌說道:“啊哈!你即將遇見一名美麗小姑娘,她想了解關(guān)于你的一切!
The frog says, “Thanks! I’m going to run right back to the pond so I won‘t miss her.”
青蛙說:“太感謝了!那我得趕緊回池塘去,免得和她錯過!
The fortuneteller says, “You won’t meet her at the pond. You‘re going to meet her in her freshman biology class.
算命師說:“你不會在池塘遇到她,而是在她大學(xué)一年級的生物課上。”
