拿破仑阅兵笑话的英文版

一个瑞典人非常钦佩拿破仑，后来他终于成为拿破仑的一名士兵。
后来拿破仑检阅队伍时，战友们提醒瑞典人，那伟大的人也许会问你几个问题。这个典人十分焦急。他听不懂拿破仑所提的问题呀！一个年纪大的士兵说："拿破仑总是按同样的顺序问三个同样的问题。第一个问题是：'你多大了？'第二个问题是：'你在我的部队多久了？'第三个问题是：'你是否参加过我两次大战的一个？'"瑞典人按顺序背下了这三个问题的答案："23岁，先生"。"3年了，先生。""都是的，先生。"
 检阅那天，拿破仑站在队伍前面，用满意的目光望着士兵们。然后，他开始检阅了，一会儿微笑着看这面儿，一会儿对那儿说句话。那瑞典一动不动地站着，只有嘴唇在轻轻地动着。拿破仑一眼看见了他。伟人走到他面前，开始问他问题。遗憾的是，这次拿破仑问的第一个问题是?quot;你在我部队里多久了？""23岁，先生"。"你今年多大了？""3年了，先生。"瑞典人的回答使拿破仑既吃惊又生气，于是吼道："是你疯了，还是我疯了？""都是的，先生"。瑞典人自豪地回答。

Answer 1

　　A story is told about a Swede who wanted to join Napoleon’s Grand Army. One evening some of Napoleon’s soldiers were drinking together when a young Frenchman brought friend to their table. He expained that his friend was a Swede and knew no French, but this Swede admired Napoleon so much that he wanted to join the French army and fight for him.

　　The soldiers looked up and saw a tall young man with blue eyes, a friendly face, strong arms and broad shoulders. They like him at once.

　　The officers saw that he was just the right sort of man, so they accepted him and he became one of Napoleons soldiers. His new friends smoothed away the difficulties. He fought bravely in many battles and gained their respect. However, his knowledge of French remained very weak, because he was not good at learning languages, but this did not prevent him from fighting hard.

　　Several yaears later, word came that Napoleon himself was coming to inspect them, and the Swede was warned that the great man world probably ask him some question. There was some difficulty in expaining this to the Swede, but when at last he understood he became very anxious.

　　“The Swede won’t understand the questions.” One of the Frenchmen said, “What can he do?”

　　It was well know that Napoleon always asked the same three questions, I and usuall in the same order. The first question was, “How old are you?” The second was, “how long have you been in my army?” And the third was, “Did you serve in either of my last two campaigns?”

　　The Swede could not possibly remember all these words and so his friends decided to teach him only the answers in their proper order. They gave him a lot of practice. Whenever possible, one of them would stop him, make him stand at attention, and ask him the three questions. “How old are you?” he would demand, and the Swede would answer, “Twenty-three, sir.” Then his friend would ask, “How long have you been in my army?” and the Swede would answer, “Three years, sir.” To the third question, “Did you serve in either of my last two campaigns?” the Swede would answer with pride, “Both, sir!”

　　For many days this practice continued. The Swede would walk about, saying to himself, “Twenty-three, sir. Three years, sir. Both, sir!” Before the day of the inspection, his friends were satisfied. He knew his answer. There ought to be no trouble.

　　Napolen arrived. Stading in front of the straight lines of soldiers, he looked at them with great satisfaction. Then he began to walk along the lines, smiling sometimes, and saying a few word here and there. The Swede stood quite still, except that his lips moved slightly. He was still practicing.

　　Napoleon suddenly caught sight of the tall soldier and realized at once that he had never seen him before. He stopped in front of the Swede. For some reason, this time the great man began with the second question.

　　“How many years have you been in my army?” he demanded.

　　“Twenty-Three, sir,” said the Swede clearly and well.

　　Napoleon was surprised. He look at tall man and asked, “How old are you then?”

　　“Three years, sir,” replied the Swede quickly.

　　Napoleon was astonished. “Either you are mad, or I am,” he declared.

　　“Both, sir!” cried the Swede proudly.
