少兒英語雙語趣味小故事：催單

Reminder

　　In the veterinary office where Im a technician, we mail out reminders when pets are due for vaccinations. Bruno, a German shepherd, arrived for his annual rabies shot, and we were required by state law to ask his owner if Bruno had bitten anyone in the last ten days. Oh yes, in fact thats why were here, she replied. Surprised, I told her we assumed theyd come in because of our reminder.

　　We did, she explained. Bruno bit the mail carrier who was delivering your card.

催單

　　我是一家獸醫(yī)站的技師。當(dāng)動物到了該注射疫苗的時候，我們就寄出催單。一條德國物質(zhì)牧羊犬布 魯諾來做每年一次的狂犬疫苗注射。我們依照州法律的要求詢問他的主人，在過去的十天里布魯諾是否咬了什么人。噢，是的。事實(shí)上這正是我們到這兒來的原 因，她回答說。我覺得奇怪，告訴她我們以為他們是因為收到了我們的催單才來的。

　　的確如此，她解釋道。布魯諾咬了給你們送催單的郵遞員。
