美國的產業衰退(搞笑)
劉以棟摘譯
美國紐約州前州長斯皮策在紐約州司法部長任上時,曾因大力整頓華爾街的不法潛規則而名噪一時,當時有人預測他可能會在未來問鼎白宮。現在他因性醜聞下台後,有人仿照他的口吻寫了下麵這段搞笑文字,我現摘譯在這裏博大家一笑。
“美國聯邦政府要給我們每人寄來600美元的稅收回扣來刺激美國經濟,但我們卻為怎麽花費這筆錢犯難。要是把錢花在 沃爾瑪超市吧,錢就會被中國人賺走了;要是把錢花在加油站吧,錢就會被阿拉伯人賺走了;要是把錢花在計算機上吧,錢就會被印度人賺走了;要是把錢花在買水果上吧,錢就會被墨西哥、洪都拉斯和危地馬拉人賺走了;要是把錢花在買好車上吧,錢就會被德國人賺走了;要是花錢買沒用的廢物吧,錢就會被台灣人賺走了。。。。。。所有這些途徑都不能把錢留在美國刺激美國經濟。要把錢留在美國,唯一途徑就是把錢花在買女人和啤酒上,因為隻有他們才是美國僅剩的本國產品了。我已經盡了自己的力, 並在此感謝大家的幫助”。
----艾略特 斯皮策 (紐約州前州長)
原文:
“The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I've been doing my part, and I thank you for your help”!
Eliot Spitzer (former Governor, New York)
