Famous people

One evening, Mrs. Alda asked her husband to take her to a very expensive restaurant in the city, because a lot of movie starts and other famous people ate there, and she was curious to see some of them.
Soon after Mr. and Mrs. Alda had ordered their meal, a very attractive man and a woman came into the restaurant and sat down at a table nearby. They were beautiful dressed, and Mrs. Alda said to her husband, “Look at those people, George! I’m sure I’ve seen their pictures somewhere.”
The man and the woman gave their order to the waiter, and when he brought Mr. and Mrs. Alda their soup, Mrs. Alda said to him,
“Who are those people? Do you know them?”
“Oh, they’re nobody famous,” he answered at once.
“Really?” Mrs. Alda asked with surprise. “How do you know that?”
“Because they asked me who you were,” he answered.

An excellent interpreter

A famous writer who was visiting Japan was invited to give a lecture at a university to a large group of students. As most of them could not understand spoken English, he had to have an interpreter.
During his lecture he told an amusing story which went on for rather a long time. At last he stopped to allow the interpreter to translate it into Japanese, and was very surprised when the man did this in a few seconds, after which all the students laughed loudly.
After the lecture, the writer thanked the interpreter for his good work and then said to him,
“ Now please tell me how you translated that long story of mine into such a short Japanese one.”
“ I didn’t tell the story at all,” the interpreter answered with a smile. I just said, “ The honorable lecture has just told a funny story. You with all laugh, please.”

7 Wonders

A group of students was asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:

1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.

The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind
because there were so many."

The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help." The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. to touch
2. to taste
3. to see
4. to hear

She hesitated a little, and then added

5. to feel
6. to laugh!
7. and to love

The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous. A gentle reminder that the most precious things are before you: your family, your faith, your love, your
good health and your friends.

Một thông dịch viên “đại tài”
Một nhà văn nổi tiếng đang du lịch Nhật Bản được mời để thuyết giảng tại một trường đại học cho một nhóm rất nhiều sinh viên đại học. Vì hầu hết họ đều không biết tiếng Anh, nên ông ta phải có một người phiên dịch riêng.
Trong suốt quá trình giảng, ông ấy kể một câu chuyện hài hước trong một thời gian khá là dài. Cuối cùng, ông ấy dừng lại và bảo người phiên dịch hãy dịch nó sang tiếng Nhật giúp ông, và rất ngạc hiên khi thấy anh phiên dịch chỉ nói trong chốc lát, sau đó thì tất cả sinh viên đều cười rất to.
Sau bài giảng, nhà văn cảm ơn anh thông dịch viên vì việc thông dịch quá giỏi của anh chàng và nói với anh ta:
“Bây giờ, anh có thể nào nói cho tôi biết cách nào để dịch một câu chuyện dài như vậy mà chỉ trong một vài từ tiếng Nhật ngắn?”
“À, tô không dịch hết tất cả chúg đâu” anh thông dịch viên trả lời với một nụ cười.” Tôi chỉ cần nói rằng, giảng sư tài ba này vừa mới kể một câu chuyện cười. Bạn hãy cười hết sức đi nào!”
