多麽善良的金發女郎【1】（笑話，譯文）
譯自法語by me, 英語由Gemini proofread過
How Kind the Blondes Are
On the way into Paris, a truck driver's vehicle breaks down. A beautiful blonde woman arrives and asks if he needs help, offering to give him a ride into Paris.
"No, thank you, ma'am. I have to wait for the tow truck; I'll be here for at least three or four hours. But on the other hand, I have two chimpanzees that need to go to the Vincennes Zoo【2】. Since they are a bit stressed, could you take them for me? I’ll give you 100 euros for your trouble."
"I’d be glad to!" the blonde says.
The truck driver settles the two chimpanzees into the back of the kind lady's car, and she sets off for the Vincennes Zoo .
Four hours later, once his truck is repaired, the driver arrives in Paris. And who should he see crossing the street in front of him? The blonde with the two chimpanzees and a crowd of onlookers following them with amusement. The truck driver stops his truck immediately, runs toward the blonde, and says:
"What are you doing here? I gave you 100 euros to take them to the zoo!"
"Yes, we did that," the blonde answers. "We already went there. Since we had a little money left over, we’re going to the movies."
多麽善良的金發女郎
在去巴黎的路上，一個卡車司機的車壞了。一個非常漂亮的金發女郎上前問他是否需要幫助，說可以讓他搭車到巴黎。
“不用了，謝謝你，女士。我得等拖車來； 我還得在這裏至少3到4小時。但是我還有2隻黑猩猩要送到Vincennes動物園。它們已經有些煩躁不安，你能幫我運送它們嗎？我會給你100歐元做為報酬。”
“我義不容辭！”金發女郎回答。
卡車司機把2隻黑猩猩安置在金發女郎的車後邊，她就往Vincennes動物園開去了。
4小時後，卡車修好了，司機開車到了巴黎。你猜卡車司機看到在他麵前穿過街道的人會是誰？是那個金發女郎、2隻黑猩猩和一群興致勃勃的觀眾。卡車司機立刻停下車，跑向金發女郎，問：
“你在這兒幹什麽呢？我給你100歐元是讓你把黑猩猩帶到動物園!”
“沒錯，我們已經做了，”金發女郎回答。 “我們去過了。 既然我們還有點剩餘的零錢，我們要一起去看電影。”
