Day 6 第六天

一个美国人和一个日本人，在前往洛杉矶的飞机上。

An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA.

美国人转向日本人对他问了一句话

The American turned to the Japanese and asked

“你是什么...ese?”

"What kind of " ---ese" are you?"

那个日本人很困惑，回应“对不起。我不明白你的问题。” 

The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean

那个美国人再重复：“你是什么...ese?”

"The American repeated, "What kind of ---ese are you?" 

那个日本人还是对那个问题感到困惑。

Again, the Japanese was confused over the question.

 

美国人觉得不耐烦：大声地说

The American, now irritated, then yelled 

“你是哪个...ese...你是Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese...”

"What kind of ---ese are you... Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese etc......"

日本人回答：“哦，我是日本人”

"The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese."

过了一会儿，那个日本人转向那美国人问了一句：

A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked

他是什么...key

What kind of '...key' was he. 

美国人懊恼，大声喊道

The American, frustrated, yelled 

“你指的是什么？我是什么...key?”

"What do you mean what kind of ' -key' am I ?!"

那个日本人说：“你是monkey, donkey，还是Yankee?”

The Japanese said, "Are you a monkey, donkey or a Yankee ?"

故事告诉我们，不要羞辱别人。

The story tells us...never insult others.
