Good Fortune, Bad Fortune
好运和霉运
A frog goes to have his fortune told.
有只青蛙跑去算命。
The fortuneteller looks at his little webbed palm and says, “Aha! You‘re about to meet a beautiful young lady who is going to want to know everything about you.”
算命师看着他小小的有蹼手掌说道:“啊哈!你即将遇见一名美丽小姑娘,她想了解关于你的一切。”
The frog says, “Thanks! I’m going to run right back to the pond so I won‘t miss her.”
青蛙说:“太感谢了!那我得赶紧回池塘去,免得和她错过。”
The fortuneteller says, “You won’t meet her at the pond. You‘re going to meet her in her freshman biology class.
算命师说:“你不会在池塘遇到她,而是在她大学一年级的生物课上。”
