Unit 14 The origin of Adam and Eve 第14单元 亚当和夏娃的出身
A Brit, a Frenchman and a Russian are viewing a painting of Adam and Eve frolicking in the Garden of Eden.
英国人、法国人和俄国人一起看着一幅亚当和夏娃在伊甸园里嬉戏的画。
"Look at their reserve, their calm,"muses the Brit."They must be British."
“看看他们的含蓄和沉静,”英国人若有所思地说:“他们一定是英国人。”
"Nonsense,"the Frenchman diaagrees. "They're naked, and so beautiful. Clearly,they are French." “胡说,”
法国人不赞成:“他们不仅裸体,而且长得很美,无疑是法国人。”
"No clothes, no shelter," the Russian pionts out,"They have only an apple to eat, and they're being told this is paradise. Certainly, they are Russian."
“没有衣服穿,也没有地方住,”俄国人指出:“只有一颗苹果可以吃,却有人告诉他们那里是天堂。很显然,他们是俄国人。”
