（单词翻译）

Thousands of cars pass through the intersection¹ of Belmont in main street during the morning rush, and today they saw this, a sign upon a railway trestles that says "CALL CHAD". His phone number is on the sign, too. We are blotting² it out, so you don't call him. 

 

Upon  the bridge is a sign says "CALL CHAD", did you call Chad yet?

 

So, who is this Chad fellow?

 

Yes, I am. I'm Chad.

 

Chad is a St. Joseph's student who now realizes he was fooled on April Fool's day.

 

I had class at ten and my phone was ringing off the hook³, all during class.

 

He's got a bunch of strange calls, and a bunch of even stranger text messages.

 

Is this a fairy tale? Are you my dream lover?

 

And then on his way home to Manayunk this afternoon, Chad finally realized what his knucklehead lacrosse teammate has done to him.

 

As soon as I came across Belmont, I was looking at that sign and I was like, oh, my God.

 

Of course “One good prank⁴ deserves another.” Right? So when the original prankster showed up here for the interview. We gave him a little taste of his own medicine.

 

We nailed Matt on the fact the illegal sign was illegally hung on the railroad bridge.

 

We’re actually for the Philadelphia Police Department here to charge you with trespassing⁵ on the trestles.

 

Oh, this is quite a surprise.

 

We had him go on for a second there, but really Matt’s only crime is good comedy. He and his co-conspirators apologize that the sign caused traffic problems and they apologize for Chad’s long lists of bizarre⁶ texts.

 

Chad, looking for some loving?

 

Yeah, we've just given him a hard time, but he knows it’s the thing of good fun. It’s April Fools so, wouldn’t be a good time without it.
