I Wasn't Listening

〔英語笑話〕——  Mother asked her small daughter who was

                reading a book.

               “ What are you doing, dear ?”

               “ I don't know ,”answered the girl.

               “ You don't know ? You were reading aloud,

                so you must know.”

               “ I Was reading aloud, Mummy, but I wasn't

                listening.”the child explained.

                               

我沒在聽

〔意譯成詩〕——  妳在讀何書？我真不知道！

                剛才妳朗讀，大聲似喊號。

                雖則朗聲大，可我沒聽到。
