oath宣誓

【笑話原文】

Twenty-one Forever

In court a judge asked the witness, "How old are you? I mean, really, how old are you? And remember, you're under oath so tell the truth."

The woman replied, "I'm twenty one and some months."

The judge said, "Be specific: how many months?"

So she said, "One hundred and eighteen months."

【中文譯文】

“妙”齡證人

庭上的法官問(wèn)證人：“多大了?我的意思是，真實(shí)年齡是多少?別忘了剛才已經(jīng)宣誓過(guò)，所以請(qǐng)誠(chéng)實(shí)作答” 這位女士回答：“我二十一歲又幾個(gè)月。” 法官說(shuō)：“要講精確，到底是多少個(gè)月?” 她回答：“一百一十八個(gè)月!”
