美国流行笑话：Road closed 道路关闭

127　Road closed 道路关闭

Signs warning of closed roadways are frequently ignored in rural area. Highway workers barely took notice when a woman drove past their sign to the trench they had dug in the middle of the road. They were surprised, however, to see the same woman coming toward them from the same direction a couple of hours later. “Oh,” she said distractedly as she again pulled up next to the trench crew. “Is it closed in this direction too?”

在乡间，人们往往忽视道路关闭的警示标志。所以，当一个女人开车从修路工人旁边经过，开往他们在路中间挖的大沟的时候，他们几乎都没有在意。可是，两个小时以后，同一个女人从同一个方向又开过来的时候，他们感到惊奇。当她又开到挖沟队跟前的时候，她惊慌失措地说：“怎么这个方向也关闭了呢？”
