Miss Sweet, the local beauty queen, was seated in the front row of the church balcony and suddenly felt dizzy during the service.
当地选美皇后甜甜小姐在教堂阳台的前排就座。仪式期间，她突然感到一阵眩晕。
Just as the minister began the blessing, she stood up, lost her balance and pitched over the railing. When her dress caught on the rail, she found herself hanging over the praying congregation.
正当牧师开始祝福的时候，她站起来，失去平衡，猛地向前扑倒在栏杆上，裙子挂在栏杆上，身体悬在了正在祈祷的人群上空。
Before the parishioners could look up, the minister intoned, “If you turn to stare at this damsel in distress, God will strike you blind.”
还没等祈祷者抬头看，牧师就大声说道：“如果谁抬头看这位处于困境的小姐，上帝就会打瞎他的眼睛。”
One worshiper nudged his friend and whispered,“ I believe I’ll risk one eye.”
其中一名祷告者用胳膊肘捅了一下朋友低声说：“我想我愿意赔上一只眼。”
