False Alarm
The boss of a big alien company which manufactured stereo apparatuses needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the upgraded computers. He dialed the employee’s home phone number and was greeted with a juvenile whisper, “Hello?”
Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster the entrepreneur asked, “Is your Daddy home?”
“Yes,” whispered the discreet voice.
“May I talk with him?” the man asked.
To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, “No, I can’t comply with your request.”
Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, “Is your Mommy there?”
“Yes,” came the answer.
“May I talk with her?”
Again the small abnormal voice whispered, “No.”
Deeming empirically that it was not likely that a young child would be left home alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person who should be there watching over the child.
“Is there any one there besides you?” the boss asked the child.
“Yes”, whispered the child, “A policeman.”
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee’s home, the boss asked, “May I speak with the policeman?”
“No, he is busy,” whispered the eccentric child.
“Busy doing what?” asked the baffled boss.
“Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman,” came the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what buzzed like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone the boss asked, “What is that noise?”
“A helicopter,” affirmed the whispering voice.
“What is going on there?” asked the boss, now alarmed.
The child answered, “The search squad just landed the helicopter.”
Alarmed, concerned and more than just a little frustrated, the boss asked, “Why are they there?”
Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a giggle, “They are looking for me!”

譯文-01 虛驚一場
一家制造音響設(shè)備的外國大公司的老板要給他的一名雇員打電話,告知他有一臺升級后的電腦出了緊急問題。他撥通了這名雇員家里的.電話,聽到一個小孩的聲音在輕聲說道:“喂?”
這個企業(yè)家覺得跟小孩說話很麻煩,就有點惱火,問道:“你爸爸在家嗎?”
“在。”這個謹(jǐn)慎的聲音輕聲說道。
“可以讓他接電話嗎?”老板問。
讓老板感到奇怪的是,這個輕柔的聲音低聲回答道:“不行,我不能答應(yīng)你的要求。”
老板想和大人說話,他就問:“那你媽媽在嗎?”
“在。”電話那端如是回答。
“那可以讓她接電話嗎?”
這個有點不正常的輕柔聲音再次小聲地說道:“不行。”
老板憑經(jīng)驗判斷小孩是不可能獨自一人留在家里的,于是他決定給照看這個小孩的人留言。
“你旁邊有別的人嗎?”老板問這個小孩。
“是的。”小孩輕聲說道,“一個警察。”
老板很想知道警察在他雇員家里干什么,于是問道:“可以讓警察接電話嗎?”
“不行,他正忙著。”這個古怪的小孩輕聲答道。
“在忙什么呢?”這讓老板十分迷惑。
“在和爸爸、媽媽還有消防隊員說話。”小孩輕聲答道。
聽筒里傳來了象直升飛機(jī)一般的嗡嗡聲,老板越來越擔(dān)心,甚至變得有點焦急,于是他問道:“那是什么聲音?”
“是直升機(jī)。”小孩低聲的回答證實了他的猜測。
“發(fā)生什么事了?”老板問道,此時他已經(jīng)很驚慌了。
小孩回答說:“搜尋隊正在降落直升機(jī)。”
老板驚慌失措、萬分擔(dān)憂,不再只是感到有點失望而已。他問道,“他們在那兒干嘛?”
小孩笑著,仍然是低聲地答道:“他們正在找我!”
