　　三个外科医生

　　三个有名的外科医生正在吹嘘他们的技术。一个人断了一只手，他来找我，一个说，如今那个人是个音乐会的小提琴手。

　　这算不了什么，另一个说。了，他来找我，我将它们接了回去。如今，那人是马拉松选手。

　　我比你们两个都强，第三个说，一天，我碰到一起可怕的车祸。除了一个马屁股，和一幅眼睛，什么都没有留下。如今，那人坐在美国参议院里。

　　Three Surgeons

　　Three famous surgeons were bragging about their skills. A man came to me who had his hand cut off, said one. Today that man is a concert violinist.

　　That's nothing, said another. A guy came to me who had his legs cut off. I stitched them back on, and today that man is a marathon runner.

　　I can top both of you, said the third. One day I came on the scene of a terrible accident. There was nothing left but a horse's posterior - and a pair of glasses. Today that man is seated in United States Senate.
