金发女郎求职面试
鸭绒25(译)
2025年2月5日
一位金发女郎在办公室参加求职面试。
面试官从最基本的开始:““那么,小姐。您能告诉我们,您的年龄吗?”
金发女郎用手指数了半分钟,才回答:“嗯……22岁。”
面试官又尝试了另一个直截了当的方法来打破僵局。
“您能告诉我们,您的身高吗?”
这位年轻女士站起来,从手提包里拿出一把卷尺。然后,她用脚踩住卷尺的一端,将卷尺拉到头顶。
她查看了一下读数,然后宣布:“五英尺二英寸!”
这看上去不太令人满意。所以,面试官开始问她更简单的问题。这样,她就不必数数、测量,或需要查找了。
“只是为了确认一下。请问您的名字?”
金发女郎一边把头左右摇晃了大约十五秒,一边在心里默默地念叨着什么。
然后,回答说:“辛迪!”
面试官完全不知到她在做什么。
于是,他问道:“当我问你叫什么名字时,你在做什么?”
“哦,那个!”金发女郎回答道,“我刚才正在唱那首歌,‘祝你生日快乐,祝你生日快乐,祝你生日快乐,亲爱的……’”
注:《生日快乐》祝福歌的歌词可以在第三句中代入寿星本人的名字。通常,用唱歌的方式比较容易记住歌词内容。但如果有人需要通过唱歌才能想起自己的名字,那就会变成一个笑话了。
原文: Blonde Job Interview
A blonde goes for a job interview in an office。
The interviewer starts with the basics:“So,Miss,can you tell us your age,please?”
The blonde counts carefully on her fingers for half a minute before replying:“Um……22。”
The interviewer tries another straightforward one to break the ice。
“And can you tell us your height,please?”
The young lady stands up and produces a measuring tape from her handbag。She then traps one end under her foot and extends the tape to the top of her head。
She checks the measurement and announces:“Five foot two!”
This isn't looking good so the interviewer goes for the real basics,something that she won't have to count,measure,or lookup。
“Just to confirm for our records,your name please?”
The blonde bobs her head from side to side for about fifteen seconds,mouthing something silently to herself,before replying:“Cindy!”
The interviewer is completely baffled at this stage,so he asks:“What were you doing when I asked you your name?”
“Oh,that!”replies the blonde,“I was just running through that song,‘Happy birthday to you,happy birthday to you,happy birthday dear……’”
