第58章 铁轨上的牛

A passenger train is creeping along,slowly。Finally it creaks to a halt。A passenger sees a conductor walking outside。“What's going on?”she yells out the window。“Cow on the track!”replies the conductor。

Ten minutes later,the train resumes its slow pace。Within five minutes,however,it stops again。

The woman sees the same conductor walk again。She leans out the window and yells,“What happened?Did we catch up with the cow?”

一辆客车开的很慢,像在爬一样。终于“咯吱”一声停下了。一位乘客看到乘务员在外面走。她朝窗户外大喊:“怎么了?”乘务员说:“有牛在铁轨上。”

十分钟后,火车又慢慢地开了。不到五分钟,又停下来了。那个女人又看见了同一个乘务员在外面走。她靠近窗户喊道:“怎么了?咱们追上牛了没?”
