“You have a very rare and extremely contagious condition,” the doctor told his patient. “We’re going to put you in an isolation unit, where you’ll be on a diet of pancakes and pizza.”
“你患了非常罕见的、极其严重的传染病,”医生对病人说,“我们打算把你送到一间隔离病房,你在那里要以煎饼和比萨饼为食。”
“Will pancakes and pizza cure my condition?”
“煎饼和比萨饼能治好我的病吗?”
“No,” replied the doctor. “They’re the only things we can slip under the door.”
“不是,”医生回答说,“只有这两样东西我们能从门下塞进去。”
