英语幽默笑话：“我诚恳认错”

kobe

I have this friend who always seemed to lean1 slightly to the left all the time. It used to bother me, so I suggested he see a doctor, and have his legs checked out.

For years, he refused and told me I was crazy, but last week, he finally went.


Sure enough, the doctor discovered his left leg was a quarter inch shorter than his right. A quick bit of surgery2 later, he was cured, and both legs are exactly the same length now, and he no longer leans3. “So,”I said, "You didn't believe me when I told you a doctor could fix your leg.


He just looked at me and said, "I stand corrected.

笑话——“我诚恳认错”

我有一个朋友，他似乎总是微微向左倾斜。这个问题曾经非常困扰我，所以我建议他去看医生，检查一下他的腿。几年来，他总是不听我的建议，还说我不正常，但是上星期，他终于去看了医生。果真，医生发现他的左腿比右腿短四分之一英寸。一个很快的小手术后，他康复了，现在他的两条腿完全一样长了，他也不再倾斜了。“你看，”我说，“那时我告诉你医生可以治好你的腿时你还不相信我呢。”他看着我说：“我认错了。”
