A dad was trying to teach his kid about the evils of drinking. He put one worm in a glass of water and another worm in a glass of whiskey.
一位父亲试图教他的孩子喝酒的坏处。 他把一只虫子放在一杯水里,并把另一只虫子放在一杯威士忌里。
The worm in the water survived, but the worm in the whiskey curled up and died almost immediately.
水中的虫子活了下来,但威士忌里的虫子蜷缩起来,几乎立刻就死了。
“All right, kid,” the father began, “what does this little experiment prove to you about drinking?”
“好啦,孩子,”父亲开始说,“这个小实验向你证明了喝酒的什么?”
“Well,” the kid replied thoughtfully, “it proves that if a person drinks alcohol he probably won’t get worms.”
“嗯,”孩子若有所思地回答,“这证明了,如果一个人喝酒,他可能不会生虫。”
