A man walked into a pet shop one day with a large and very ugly dog.
一個男人走進一家寵物店一天大的、醜陋的狗。
It had long hair, short legs, no tail and a very wet nose.
它有長長的頭發,短短的腿,沒有尾巴和一個非常潮濕的鼻子。
「Good morning, sir,」 the owner of the pet shop said. 「How can I help you?」
「早上好,先生,」寵物店的老闆說。有什麼可以幫你們的嗎?「
「I want to sell this dog.」
「我想賣掉這只狗。」
The pet shop owner looked at the dog and shook his head.
寵物店的老闆看著狗搖了搖頭。
「I』m sorry. I can』t give you anything for that animal. No one will want to buy him.」
對不起。我不能給你任何東西,動物。沒有人會想買他。」
「Why not?」 asked the man. 「He』s clean, well-behaved and healthy.」
為什麼不呢?「問這個人。「他是干凈的,良好的健康。」
「Look at him, sir,」 said the pet shop owner. 「He hasn』t got a fall, his legs are too short and his hair』s too long. Who would want to buy such a dog?」
「看他,先生,」店主。「他沒有倒下,他的腿太短了,他的頭發太長了。誰會想買這樣一隻狗?「
「Well, I guess you』re right,」 the man said. 「But he can talk.」
「好吧,我想你是對的,」那人說。「但他能說話。」
「What do you mean he can talk?」 the pet stop owner asked.
「你的意思是他能說話嗎?「寵物店問老闆。
「Yes, he can speak perfect English. Just listen,」 the man answered.
「是的,他能說一口流利的英語。聽著,」那個男人回答。
The dog then spoke.
狗狗說話。
「It』s true, sir,」 he said. 「I am the world』s greatest talking dog. I』ve been to America and talked to the President at the White House in Washington. I』ve talked to the Queen of England and the Emperor of Japan. Please buy me, sir. This man is very cruel to me. He makes me work too hard and doesn』t feed me very well. He never takes me for a walk or gives me a bath. Sometimes he leaves me alone for weeks. I』m so unhappy, sir. Please buy me and find a good home for me.」
「這是真的,先生,」他說。「我是世界上最好的會說話的狗。我去過美國,跟總統在華盛頓白宮。我已經跟英國女王,日本天皇。請給我買的,先生。這個人很殘忍的我。他使我工作太辛苦,並且沒有給我很好。他從來不帶我散步或給我洗澡。有時他讓我單獨在周。我真不幸,先生。請給我,給我找個好歸宿的。」
The pet shop owner could hardly believe what he was hearing.
寵物店的老闆簡直不敢相信他所聽到的。
「That』s amazing,」 he said. 「You』re right. He is a talking dog. But tell me, why do you want to sell him?」
「太神奇了,」他說。你說得對。他是一隻會說話的狗。告訴我,你為什麼要賣掉它呢?「
「Because I』m tired of all his lies,」 the man said
「因為我厭倦了所有的謊言,」男人說
