英语笑话：登山人

After a week's absence, a mountain man staggered home, clothes torn, shoes worn thin. He was exhausted.

"Where have you been?" asked his wife.

"I went out in the woods to check the still." Replied the mountain man, "and a giant bear stepped out in front of me. I took off running ahead of him and finally lost him. I never ran so fast in my life."

"But that was a week ago." Said the wife. "Where have you been since?"

The mountain man collapsed in a chair. "Walking back."

离开家一个星期后，那个登山人摇摇晃晃地回到了家，他的衣服也破了，鞋底也磨薄了，他本人更是疲惫不堪的样子。

“你到哪儿去了?”老婆问。

“那天我到森林里去检查有无无非法酿酒的地方，”登山人叙述着，“忽然一只大熊出现在我的面前，我拔腿就跑，熊就在后面追，好不容易才把它甩掉，我这辈子从来没有跑这么快。”

“可是那是一周前的事了，”他老婆说：“后来你到哪儿去了?”

登山人瘫在在椅子上说：“往回走啊!”
