发帖数: 1956 | 5 The script I just transcribed based on the caption (with certain improvement)
Hi everybody.
I see a lot of really cocky bumper stickers, you know, like "My son is an
honored student" or "This car climbed Mountain Washington".
I surely want to see some humble ones, like "My son just moved back in with
us" or "I am on Facebook, I have two friends".
So when I drive in certain states in this country, I have to have my papers
ready, because I am an immigrant.
Then I learned that the term "immigrant" has a negative connotation. I think
that's probably why on those immigration papers, the United States
government decided to call us "Aliens".
Sound so much nicer you know: "Hey, we are not here to take your jobs, we
are just here to abduct you."
I heard this from my car radio a program called "This I believe", where
people talk about what they really believe in, and I prepared some material
for that show. And I just want to share it with you guys tonight.
So "This I believe" by Joe Wong.
I believe that if you give a man a fish, he will be totally weeded out.
And I believe that school closing is, for parents, kind of like the
Guantanamo Bay situation.
In the beginning we are like "Yeah it is closed!" "Oh, no! They are coming
here!"
And I believe that "Dominos" is a terrible name for a chain restaurant.
And I believe that the most important thing that Chinese invented is paper,
because before that we only had rock and scissors.
And I believed that laughter is the best medicine, but it's the worst
prescription. "Looks like you have pneumonia. Ha ha ha!"
And I believe that if I were to die in a car accident, I want it to be a
collision with a cement truck. That way immediately after I die, there is a
statue of me.
And I believe that when the lord comes back, he would be driving a car with
a bumper sticker that says "What would I do?"
And he should have his papers ready, because his name is Jesus (pronounced
in Latin not in English because Jesus was not born in USA).
And I believe that God is a woman, because she never forgets anything that
you've ever done. And she'd punish us with vengeance, only because she loves
you.
Thank you so much! |

发帖数: 1453 | 19 英语里面有一句谚语"If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you
teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime." 而 "weed out" 有一点“优胜
劣汰”的感觉。所以把这两个合起来就明白了...
不过英语里面的这个谚语其实来自中文“授之以鱼不如授之以渔”，其原文有人说是出自《老子》
原文：“授人以鱼，不如授之以渔，授人以鱼只救一时之及，授人以渔则可解一生之需。” 不过老子原文里面
好像并没有这样的话，而且从语言角度看，这话也太“现代汉语”了，根本不符合老子的风格。

他却说“那就会让他觉得特别奇怪”，这样我觉得还是比较搞笑的。不过显然他的发音

发帖数: 1453 | 27 For parents if the school is closed they do not have to take their children
to school or get them from school. So it is less work. But then if school is
closed, the children will stay home, and the parents need to take care of
them and they can't enjoy their free day.
If Guantanamo bay is closed, Americans feel that it is one less burden for
whatever reason they choose. But then they realize the closing of Guantanamo
bay means that the prisoners will be brought back to a facility within the
continental US. Then it will be an inconvenience for Americans.
You see the analogy then.
