 Unit 15 Two Farmers

第15单元 两个农夫

A Texan farmer goes into Australia for a vacation. There he meets an Aussie farmer and gets talking.

有个德州农夫去澳洲度假时遇见一个澳洲农夫，两人攀谈了起来。

The Aussie shows off his big wheat field and the Texan says,"Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice as large."

那个澳洲人像他炫耀他那一大片小麦田，结果德州农夫说：“哎呀!我们那里的小麦田起码比你的大两倍。”

Then they walk around the ranch a little, and the Aussie shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately says,

接着他们又逛了一下农场，澳洲人又炫耀起他的牛群，德州人马上说：

"We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows."

“我们那里的长牛角起码比你的牛大两倍。”

The conversation has, meanwhile, almost died when the Texan sees a herd of kangaroos hopping through the field. He asks,"And what are those?"

说着说着，德州人看到一群袋鼠在农场上跳来跳去，一时不知道讲什么，于是问道：“那些是什么东西?”

The Aussie replies with an incredulous look,"Don't you have any grasshoppers in Taxas?"

澳洲人一副难以置信的表情，回答道：“怎么，你们德州都没有蚱蜢吗?”
