校园笑话：1、 Who killed Abraham Lincoln? 谁杀了林肯

1. Who killed Abraham Lincoln?

Who killed Abraham Lincoln? the teacher asked her seventh-graders.

Everyone but John raised a hand to answer.

Do you know, John? she asked John.

Damn it, I don't know and I don't care! the boy yelled1, arms crossed. "Stop asking questions."

Upset2, the teacher kept John after class and called his father for a conference3. "What's the problem?" John's dad asked when he arrived. "Why is my son in detention4?"

I asked John who killed Abraham Lincoln and he cursed5 and said he didn't know and didn't care, and told me to stop asking him questions.

Furiously, the man grabbed6 John by the collar. "What's your problem, son?" He shouted. "If you killed the man, just say so."

Notes:

1. yell 叫喊

2. upset 不安，忧虑

3. conference 会晤，对话

4. detention 留堂

5. curse 诅咒

6. grab 抓住，揪住

谁杀了林肯

一名老师问她所教的七年级学生们：“谁暗杀了林肯？”

除约翰外，所有学生均举起手来。

老师问约翰：“你知道答案吗？”

约翰双手交叉，大声叫道：“见鬼，我不知道，也不在乎。不要再问我问题了。”

老师感到很不安，课后把约翰留下来，并打电话让约翰的爸爸过来当面谈一谈。约翰的爸爸到了之后，问老师：“我儿子怎么了，为什么被您留下来？”

老师说：“我问他谁杀了林肯，他骂人，说他不知道也不在乎，并要我不再问他任何问题。”

约翰的爸爸非常生气，抓起儿子的衣领，吼道：“儿子呀，你究竟怎么了？如果是你杀了人，你就承认啊。”

1865年4月14日晚上，林肯总统来到华盛顿的福特剧院看表演。10点15分，一个名叫布斯（John Wilkes Booth）的颇有名气的演员潜入没有守卫的总统包厢，在距离林肯不到两英尺的后方，用一把大口径手枪向总统头部开枪。第二天凌晨，林肯总统去世。
