Strongest Man

最強壯的人——蘇州英語翻譯公司編譯

Three guys were talking in the local bar. The manager was so sure that its bouncer was the strongest man around that it offered a standing $1,000 bet that no could beat him.

三個家伙在酒吧里面聊天。酒吧經理開了一個他確信無人能拿走的1000美元的賭注。

The challenge was that the landlord would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran out into a beer glass, then hand the lemon to the customer. Anyone who could squeeze even one more drop out of the lemon would win the money.

項目是這樣的。給莊家一個檸檬，莊家把所有的檸檬汁都擠到一個啤酒杯里，然后把這個檸檬給顧客。如果哪個顧客能夠從這個檸檬里擠出一滴檸檬汁就可以拿走1000美元。

Over the years many people had tried this, truck drivers, weightlifters, karate masters, and all had failed. Then one day this geeky little fella with heavy black rimmed glasses came into the bar and asked if he could try the challenge.

幾年過去了，很多人來嘗試，有卡車司機，有舉重選手，有空手道高手，但沒有一個人能拿走此項賭注。有一天穿著老土的小伙子帶著很深的黑框眼鏡來到酒吧想試試這項挑戰。

After the laughter had subsided the landlord said that it was only fair that the man be given a chance at the bet, so he picked up a lemon and started squeezing. Once he was done he handed the remains to the little man who promptly squeezed out 4 more drops of juice onto the bar!

在一陣嘲笑之后，莊家說每一個人都有公平的機會贏取此項賭注。莊家拿起一個檸檬擠干了所有檸檬汁。小伙子拿起這個檸檬渣很快寄出四滴檸檬汁掉在吧臺上。

Everyone looked on in amazement as the landlord handed over the prize and asked "What do you do for a living that has given you such strength? Are you a lumberjack, weightlifter, what?" "No" the man replied, "I work for the IRS."

莊家給小伙子獎金后，大家都很奇怪的問小伙子：“你干什么工作有如此大的力量？”“你是一個伐木工嗎？舉重選手？？”“都不是”小伙子回答“我是國家稅務局的”
