原文: Country Politics

A busload of politicians were driving down a country road, when suddenly the bus ran off the road and crashed into an old farmer''s barn.

The old farmer got off his tractor and went to investigate. Soon he dug a hole and buried the politicians. A few days later, the local sheriff came out, saw the crashed bus and asked the old farmer where all the politicians had gone.

The old farmer told him he had buried them.

The sheriff asked the old farmer, "Lordy, were they ALL dead?"

The old farmer said, "Well, some of them said they weren''t, but you know how them crooked politicians lie."

译文: 乡村政治

      一车的政治家正行驶在乡村的一条路上,突然这辆车开离了路并撞上了一个老农民的谷仓。

      老农民下了他的拖拉机,跑过去查了个究竟。他很快地挖了个洞,埋葬了这些政治家。几天以后,一个当地官员出现了,看到了撞倒的车,就问那个老农民那些政治家都去哪了?

      那个老农民就说他把他们都埋葬了。

      官员问老农民:”老天爷,你知道他们都死了吗?“

      那个老农民说:”其中一些说他们没死,但你知道他们自己是如何编撰政治家的谎言的。
