The Smartest Dog 最聪明的狗
The Smartest Dog
A butcher is working, and really busy. He notices a dog in his shop and shoos him away.
一个肉贩在工作,而且很忙。他发现一只狗在他的店里,就把它轰走了。
Later, the dog is back again. He walks over to the dog, and notices the dog has a ten-dollar bill and a note in his mouth. The butcher takes the note, and it reads, "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please?"
过了一会儿,那只狗又回来了。肉贩走近它,注意到它的嘴里有一张10元的钞票和一张字条。他把字条拿出来看,上面写着:“请给我十二根香肠和一只羊腿。”
Amazed, the butcher takes the money, puts the sausages and lamb in a paper bag, and places it in the dog's mouth.
肉贩大为惊奇,他拿过钱,把香肠和羊腿装进一只纸袋,放到狗的嘴里。
Since it's closing time, he decides to close up shop and follow the dog. So, off he goes. The dog is walking down the street and comes to a crossing. The dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the crossing button. Then he waits patiently, bag in mouth, for a green light. Then he looks both ways and trots across the road, with the butcher following.
已经到了打烊的时间,肉贩决定把在店关上,跟着那只狗。于是肉贩就跟上那只狗。它沿街走到一个十字路口,放下纸袋,跳起来按行人过街灯的按钮。然后它把纸袋叼在嘴里,耐心地等待绿灯。它两边看看,然后穿过马路。肉贩跟在它后面。
The dog then comes to a bus stop, and checks the timetable. The butcher is in awe at this stage. The dog checks out the times, and sits on one of the seats to wait for the bus.
随后,那只狗来到一个汽车站查看时刻表。肉贩对此充满敬畏。那只狗看好时间后就坐在一张椅子上等车。
When a bus arrives, the dog walks to the front of the bus, looks up at the number, and goes back to his seat. Later another bus comes. Again the dog walks around to the front and looks up at the number, notices it's the right bus, and boards the bus. The butcher, by now open-mouthed, follows him onto the bus.
一辆车来了,那只狗走到车前,抬头看看是几路车,又走回去坐在椅子上。过了一会儿,又来了一辆车。那只狗又走到车前,抬头看看是几路车。这回是它要坐的,它上了车。肉贩看得目瞪口呆,跟着上了车。
