通向真理的橋梁【1】(笑話,譯文)
譯自德文by me, 英文由Gemini proofread過:
The Bridge to Truth[1】
A man walks along a beach of the North Sea [2] and finds an old bottle. When he is cleaning it, the genie [3] suddenly appears. Grateful for the man who freed him, the genie grants the man a wish.
The Man: "I badly want to go to America, but I dare not to take an airplane and taking a ship makes me seasick, so please build a bridge to America for me."
Genie: "Sorry, that won't work. It would require an immense amount of work and would take forever. Please make another wish."
The Man: "That's too bad. But please help me to understand women."
Genie: "How many lanes [4] should your bridge have?"
通向真理的橋梁【1】
一個男人在北海【2】的沙灘上散步時撿到了一個舊瓶子。當他清洗瓶子的時候,一個基尼【3】突然出現了。基尼感謝它被解放,於是答應幫男人實現一個願望。
男人:“我日夜向往去美洲去,但是我害怕乘飛機,乘船又暈船。請給我造一座通往美洲的橋吧。”
基尼:“對不起。那可不行。那是一個龐大的工程,一輩子也幹不完。請另選一個願望吧。:
男人:“真掃興。那就行個好,告訴我怎樣搞懂女人心吧?“
基尼:“那你的橋梁上要鋪設多少條車道【4】呢?“

【3】. Genie 起源:Jinn是古阿拉伯神話中存在的超自然生物,由“無煙之火”或“灼熱的空氣”創造而成,先於人類被造。它們擁有自由意誌,因此既可以是善良的,也可以是邪惡的,或者像人類一樣處於中間地帶。
下麵是deepseek回答:
經典形象:在《一千零一夜》等文學作品中,Genie通常被描繪成擁有巨大魔力的巨人,可以被囚禁在神燈或瓶子裏。當有人擦拭或打開容器時,Genie就會被釋放出來,並必須滿足釋放者的願望(通常是三個)。
著名例子:迪士尼動畫電影《阿拉丁》(Aladdin)中的燈神(The Genie)就是對這個形象的現代化、友好化和喜劇化的完美詮釋,由羅賓·威廉姆斯配音的角色深入人心。
【4】。Gemini回答:Building lanes on a bridge has nothing to do with understanding women. The punchline of the joke is a hyperbolic metaphor, implying that understanding women is so incredibly complex and difficult that building a multi-lane bridge across the Atlantic Ocean is a simpler, more achievable task.
