美国流行笑话：Renaissance 文艺复兴

168　Renaissance 文艺复兴

I was in line at the souvenir booth of a Renaissance fair when a man asked the clerk, “Do you sell sunglasses?” The clerk answered in her best fake old English, “Colored bits of glass suspended before the eyes were not invented until after the Renaissance, so those are not goods we purvey.” As he began to turn away, ye old Renaissance clerk added, “But we do carry baseball caps with our logo on them.”
我在文艺复兴展览会的纪念品摊桌前排队。一位男子问售货员：“你们卖太阳眼镜吗？”售货员用她最好的赝品古英语回答说：“挂在眼镜前面的两片彩色玻璃是一直到文艺复兴以后才发明的。所以，它们不是我们供应的商品。”那个男子刚要走开，那位老文艺复兴售货员说：“不过我们出售印有我们商标的棒球帽。”
