The Blind Man and the Deaf Man(盲人及聋子) 1. Once upon a time, there lived a blind man and a deaf man in the same village. They two were good friends. 一个盲人,一个聋子,同住一个村,是一对好朋友#65377; 2. One day, they went back home from outside together. They quarrelled with each other on the way, and the deaf man wanted to go off in a fit of pique. 一次,二人结伴回家#65377;半路上,两人吵了嘴,聋子想赌气离去#65377; 3. The deaf man laughed at the blind man when he left, “I dont know when you can get home without my help?” “Don’t worry, I’ll get home anyway,” said the blind man. 临走时,聋子嘲笑盲人说:“没有我的照顾,看你何时到家?” 盲人回答:“请放心,我总会到家的#65377;” 4. When the deaf man came to a wine－shop, he entered and asked for a pot of wine. The waiter told him, “The wine is called one pot for a three-day sleep’, so you can’t drink more.” 聋子路过一家酒店,要了一壶酒#65377;店家说:“这酒名叫一壶睡三天,你不要多喝#65377;” 5. The deaf man thought himself to be a heavy drinker and was too deaf to hear what the waiter had said. He drank all the wine in the pot and was tipsy in a moment. 聋子自以为酒量大,也没有听见店家的话,一气喝干了壶中的酒,不一会儿就醉倒了#65377; 6. Three days had passed when he was sobered up. Jumping up, the deaf man left the wineshop and ran down the road. 三天后酒醒#65377;聋子跳起身,出了店门,向前飞奔#65377; 7. Far from his door, he saw someone with a pole in his hand standing there――it was the blind man. 他远远看见在自己家门前,站着一个撑着竹棍的人――正是盲人#65377; 8. The deaf man walked up to him, clasping the blind man by the hands, he said, “My friend, how quick you are!” 聋子赶上去,一把握住盲人的手说:“朋友,你跑得好快呀!” 9. “It is not that Ive run too fast but that your deaf ear is to be blamed for it,” said the blind man. “What?” cried the deaf man, “there isn’t anything wrong with my ear.” 盲人说:“不是我跑得快,而是你耳朵聋#65377;” “什么?” 聋子叫道,“我的耳朵蛮好的嘛#65377;” 10. The blind man said, “Look, you dont take any notice of what the waiter has said, aren’t you a deaf man?” The deaf man nodded. 盲人说:“你呀,店家的话都听不见,不是聋子是什么?”聋子点头称是#65377; 1
