艾伦脱口秀第313期:很罕见的现象

 　　I really,I didn't think it was that big of a deal,cause there was no rain.I looked outside,no rain. 不过 我认为那没什么大不了的 我向屋外看了 一滴雨也没有

　　Just some rumbling¹ thunder,So I got my kite and I went outside 就是轰隆的雷声而已 所以我带着我的风筝出门去了

　　So what happened,seriously,this is true 接下来发生了什么呢 说真的 你们得相信我

　　It's about 10:30 in the morning,we're at home on one Saturday morning 那是一个周六的早晨 我们在家 大概十点半左右

　　And our house was struck by lightning,as if all houses in the neighborhood.The lightning hit our clock tower 我们的房子被雷击中了 周围的房子也是 雷电还击中了我们的钟楼

　　It was so loud,it was the loudest noise I've ever heard，and I've sat next to Marry Murphy on So You Think You Can Dance. 那简直是巨响 我没有听过比那更响的噪音 要知道 在《舞林争霸》上 我可是坐在Marry Murphy旁边的

　　I know loud.It was the loudest thing I've ever heard,I really could not believe that it hit our house 我非常了解巨响 那就是我听过的最响的声音 我不敢相信它真的击中了我们的房子

　　and the cats were under the bed for 30 minutes,I was under there for 45 我们的猫跑到床底下躲了30分钟  我躲了45分钟

　　Poor little things.It took yawn² and treats but eventually Portia cokes me out,and then 可怜的小东西们 我们在下面又累又怕 还好Portia把我拉出来了 然后

　　We were scared by the way.I took a picture of Portia right after the lightning  struck.Look at her,that was,I mean 我们真是吓坏了 雷击过后我拍了一张Portia的照片 瞧瞧她 我说 那真是

　　I was like,Portia?And then right before the show started,My mama tells my Aunt Helen 我说你这是怎么了 Portia 在节目开始之前 我妈妈告诉我 我的Hellen阿姨

　　My Aunt Helen,I've talked about her before,live in Mississippi Helen阿姨 住在密西西比那个 我以前跟你们提过

　　A month ago her house got struck by lightning.How weird³ is that?what are the odds 一个月前 她的房子也被雷击了 是不是很诡异 有点太巧合了

　　But then I learn the lightning strikes aren't as rare as they seem 后来我才知道 雷击其实并不是很罕见的现象

　　Statistically I'm more likely to be struck by lightning than to win a lottery 据统计 比起中彩票 我更容易被雷击中

　　But also statistically speaking,I'm more likely to win a lottery than seen a grown man naked 但也是根据统计来说 比起见到一成年人裸体 我中彩票几率还更大些
