A pirate walked into a bar and ordered a whiskey.The bartender noticed that,like any self-respecting pirate,this guy had a peg leg,a hook in place of one of his hands and a patch over one eye.
有个海盗走进一家酒吧并要了一杯威士忌酒.酒吧的酒保注意到，像任何一个自我肯定的海盗一样，这家伙有一条长腿，一只手上装有一个钩子，还有一个眼罩遮住了一只眼睛。
The bartender asked the pirate,”How did you lose your leg?”The pirate responded,”I lost my leg in a battle off the coast of Jamaica!”
这酒保问海盗：“你是怎么失去你的腿啊？”海盗回答说：“我是在一次牙买加海岸战斗中失去了我的腿。”
His new acquaintance was still curious,so he asked,”What about your hadn.Did you lose it at the same time?” “No,”answered the pirate.”I lost it to the sharks off the Florida Keys.”
他这位新认识的朋友很好奇的又问：“那你的手呢，是在同一次战役中失去的吗？”“不是”海盗回答说：“那是在Florida Keys（地名）那里被沙鲨鱼咬去了。”
Finally,the bartender asked,”I notice you also have an eye patch.How did you lose your eye?”The pirate answered,”I was sleeping on a beach when a sea gull flew over and crapped right in my eye.”The bartender was puzzled,”How could a little sea gull crap make you lose your eye?”The pirate snapped,”It was the day after I got my hook!”
最后，酒保问道：“我注意到你还有一个眼罩。你是怎么失去你的眼睛的呢？”，海盗回答说：“我在沙滩睡觉的时候，一支海鸥飞过正好大便到我的眼睛上。”酒保很疑惑的问：“小小海鸥的粪便怎么可能就让你失去你的眼睛？”海盗火大的说：“那发生在我的手刚装上了钩子的第二天！”
