A brave young man
Just before giving a lavish(奢侈的) party at his estate(庄园), a tycoon(石油巨头) had his swimming pool filled with poisonous snakes(毒蛇). He called the guests together and announced(宣布),"To anyone brave enough to swim across this pool,I will give the choice of a thousand acres(英亩) of my oil fields,10,000 head of cattle or my daughter's hand in marriage."No sooner were his words spoken than a young man plunged in(跳入), swam across the pool and climbed out unscathed(未被咬伤) but breathless(气喘吁吁). "Congratulations(祝贺)!"the tycoon greeted him."Do you want my oil fields?" "No!" gasped(喘气) the guest.
"The 10,000 head of cattle?"
"No!" the young man shouted.
"Well, how about my daughter's"？
"No!"
"You must want something," said the puzzled(迷惑不解的) host.
"I just want to know the name of the guy who pushed me in!"
石油巨头在他的庄园开始一个奢华的聚会之前，在游泳池里放满了毒蛇。他把客人招集到一起宣布，“对任何敢横渡这个泳池的人，我将给他一千英亩油田、或者一万头牛，或者将我的女儿嫁给他。”话音刚落，一个年青人跳入泳池、游到对岸，毫发未损，气喘吁吁。石油大亨高声呼唤他，“祝贺你，你要我的油田吗？”
这个客人边喘边说，“不！”
“一万头牛？”
年青人喊到，“不！”
“噢，我的女儿？”
“不！”
迷惑不解的主人说，“你肯定想要什么东西。”
“我要知道是哪个家伙把我推下去的！” |

It is weak and silly to say that you cannot bear what it is necessary for you to bear.
