　　一個德州人、一個俄國人和一個紐約人一起進了倫敦的一家餐館裡，服務員說:“打擾一下，如果您哪位想點牛排，我想我們無法滿足您，因為現在缺貨。”

　　外國英語趣味故事：休息一天

　　So you want a day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for:

　　如果你要求休息一天，那就讓我們看看你一直都要求了些什麼:

　　There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per year in

　　which you already have 2 days off per week， leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break, which counts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. With 1 hour lunch each day, you used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work.

　　一年有365天可以用來工作。其中有52個星期，每個星期中你都可以休息2天，這樣就剩下了261天可以用來工作。可是在每天當中你又有16個小時不工作，算起來這就是170天的時間，還有91天。你每天還要有30分鐘休息喝杯咖啡的時間，算起來每年就是23天，還剩下68天。每天一個小時的午飯時間，你又用了6天，還剩下22天可以用來工作。

　　You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days per year available, for work. We are off 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days. We generously give 14 days vacation per year, which leaves only 1 day available for work and I' ll be darned if you are going to take that day off !

　　通常每年你還要請2天的病假。這就只剩20天可用來工作。可我們每年還有5天的假日，這樣工作的時間就減到了15天。每年還有14天的假期，這就只剩下一天了，如果就這一天你還要休息，那我就要瘋了。

　　外國英語趣味故事：後繼有人

　　On the way to preschool, the doctor had left her stethoscope on the car seat, and her little girl picked it up and began playing with it. "Be still, my heart,” thought the doctor, "my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps!” 'Then the child spoke into the instrument，"Welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order?"

　　在去往幼兒園的路上，一個醫生把她的聽診器留在了汽車座位上，她的小女兒拿起聽診器玩了起來。“我後繼有人了，”醫生心想，“我的女兒想要繼續我的事業!”接著小孩對著聽診器說:“歡迎來到麥當勞，我能為您做點什麼嗎?”

　　外國英語趣味故事：腦筋急轉彎
