　　 热狗

　　Two people immigrate¹ to America. On their first day they are wandering around New York City. After many hours of sightseeing both people are hungry. They then come up to a street vendor² selling hot dogs.

　　有两个人移民到美国，第一天便在纽约市内到处闲逛。逛了几个小时，两人都饿了，便想去卖热狗的路边摊买东西吃。

　　One says to the other in a shocked tone, "My God. Do they eat dogs in America?"

　　其中一个人口气惊讶地对另一个说：“我的天，美国有在吃狗肉啊？”

　　"I don't know!" says the other, equally appalled³.

　　“我不知道耶！”另一个人同样惊讶地说道。

　　"Well," says the first, "We're going to be Americans, so we must do as they do."

　　“那么，”第一个人说：“既然我们要当美国人，那就得入乡随俗才行。”

　　They approach the vendor bravely. "Two hot dogs, plaese."

　　他们于是鼓起勇气来到摊贩前面说：“要两只热狗。”

　　The vendor hands them their food in a pair of paper sacks. The two immigrants sit on a park bunch to eat their lunch. One looks inside his sack, hesitates and turns to his partner and says, "Uh, which part of the dog did you get?"

　　小贩用两个纸篓各装一支热狗给他们，这两个新来的移民便去公园长椅上坐下来准备吃午餐。其中一个人看了一下纸袋里面的东西，犹豫了一会儿，转头对他的同伴说：“嗯，你拿到的是狗的哪个部位？”
