英语笑话：Heavenly Baseball 

Heavenly Baseball
(Originally in English)

There were two friends who were both big fans
of American baseball their entire lives. They
always talked and would discuss anything that
concerned baseball. They went to every baseball
game possible, year-round, and they said to
each other that whoever died first would try to
come back and tell the other if there was
baseball in Heaven.
One summer night, one of the two friends

passed away (after watching a baseball game,

of course). So he died a happy man. A few

nights later, his friend Bob heard a voice from

beyond, saying, “It’s your friend!” And Bob

said, “John, is that you?” “Of course it’s

me!” John replied. “That’s unbelievable!”

Bob exclaimed. “So tell me, is there baseball

in Heaven?” And John said, “Well, I have

some good news and some bad news. Which

do you want to hear first?” “Tell me the

good news first.” “OK. The good news is

that, yes, there is baseball in Heaven.”

Bob said, “Wow, that’s wonderful! So what

could possibly be the bad news?” “Well,

the bad news is that you are
pitching tomorrow night!”


天堂棒球赛
　
有两个好朋友，他们整个辈子都是美国棒球的超级

球迷，他们老是在谈论棒球的事，也几乎一年到头

都去观看球赛。他们还约好不论谁先往生，都要想

办法回来告诉对方天堂那儿有没有棒球活动。 某个

夏天晚上，其中一位过世了；当然，他是在看完球

赛以后死的，所以他死得很快乐。过了几天，他的

朋友鲍柏在夜里听到上面传来一个声音说：‘老兄，

是我啊！’鲍柏就问：‘约翰，是你吗？’ ‘不然

还会有谁啊！’约翰回答。 鲍柏大声说道：‘真是

不可思议！快告诉我，天堂那儿有打棒球吗？’

约翰说：‘嗯，我有好消息，也有坏消息要告诉你。

你要先听哪一个？’ ‘先告诉我好消息！’

‘好吧！好消息是，天堂这里有打棒球。’

鲍柏说：‘哇！太好了！那还会有什么坏消息呢？’

‘坏消息是，明晚轮到你当投手！’
