美語咖啡屋 Lesson 13: Stand-up Comedy

J: Hello everyone and welcome to American Cafe! My name's Jody.

Y: 歡迎大家到美語咖啡屋。我是楊晨。

J: Hey, Yang Chen, I have a joke. Do you have a minute?

Y: Uh huh.

J: Okay, did you hear the one about the mushroom who walked into the bar?

Y: 一只蘑菇走進(jìn)一個酒吧，很好笑啊。

J: Well, a mushroom walked into a bar and the bartender said, "Hey, get out of here. We don't serve your kind."

Y: 為什么？

J: That's exactly what the mushroom asked. "What do mean you don't serve my kind...I'm a fun guy!" Fun-guy. You know, fungus ... See the mushroom's a fungus. Oh, never mind. It's kind of funny. Yang Chen, are you there? Don't you get it? Fungus...Fungi...

Y: Haha ... 是挺幽默的。我相信我們的聽眾在收音機(jī)前已經(jīng)笑得直不起腰來了。

J: Oh, you know what, don't humor me, Yang Chen.

Y: 不錯，你還是挺會講笑話的。繼續(xù)努力。

J: You know maybe I should take me friend's comedy class. You know, polish my act a little.

Y: A little？

J: Yeah, you know polish it up a little.

Y: 真的有這種專門教人講笑話的課嗎？

J: Oh sure. My friend Jason teaches a stand up comedy class so I went to check it out.

Y: 怎么樣，有什么收獲嗎？

J: Actually the thing that surprised me the most was how serious the class was. Jason talked a lot about the pain and sorrow in comedy.
