American:  What kind of “nese” are you?

Japanese:  Knees? What do you mean?

American:  I mean, are you Chinese, Japanese or Taiwanese?

Japanese:  I'm a Japanese and I have good knees.  By the way, what kind of  “kee” are you?

American:  Key?  What do you mean?

Japanese:  I mean, are you a Yankee, a monkey or a donkey?

American:  I am no such keys.  And I am neither a jockey nor a lackey.  I'm just lucky.  I can lift or lower my key to keep my humor of Kentucky. 

 

[译注] 

 

美国人: 你是哪一种「尼士」?

日本人: 膝盖?你是什么意思?

美国人: 我是说你是中国人、日本人或台湾人?

日本人: 我是日本人,而我有好的膝盖。顺便说好了,你是什么「克伊」?

美国人: 钥匙?你是什么意思?

日本人: 我是说你是洋基或猴子或驴子?

美国人: 我不是此类人等。而我也不是骑师或侍仆。我只是幸运。我能够提高或放低我的调调来保持我那肯德基的幽默。
