【笑话原文】


 


A Real Winner


 


One resident of our retirement center loved to talk politics. Following the election, I asked him if he’d picked a winner. “Well,” he casually replied, “the man I voted for lost.” “You seem pretty calm about it,” I said. “That’s because the man I bet on won.”


 


【中文译文】


 


真正的赢家


 


我们退休中心的一名住客喜欢谈论政治。投票的第二天,我问他选的人是不是胜了。他漫不经心地回答:“我投票选的人败了。”我说:“你看起来挺淡定的嘛。”他说:“那是因为我打赌的那个人胜了。”
