唯一的补救办法

    张亚荣

    [英语原文]

    A neighbour intended to make fun of Tom and told him："Last night a mouse crept into my stomach while I was sleeping. What shall I do？"

    "What you must do at once is to find yourself a live cat and swallow it. That's the only remedy for you." was Tom 's immediate rejoinder.

    [汉语翻译]

    汤姆的邻居想跟他开个玩笑，便对他说：“昨天晚上我睡觉的时候，有只老鼠爬进了我的肚子里，我该怎么办呢？”

    汤姆随即回答道：“你必须立刻找一只活的猫吞下去，这是唯一的补救办法。”

    [小幽默大智慧]

    汤姆反应敏捷，就事论事，用猫来捉老鼠，妙趣横生。
