A Little Fun Today

今天来点幽默
In today’s world of political corruption it seems that our politicians in the United States, if they get caught for criminal activities aren’t afraid of jail time. So instead of giving them jail time let’s implement a law that says for every lie you tell, to the citizens of the United States, we get to pull out one of your teeth.

当今世界的政治腐败犹如美国政党的腐败，犯法不惧蹲监了。与其把他们送入监狱，还不如重新制定这样一条法律：凡是对美国人民说一次谎的，拔掉他一颗牙。

Now we’ll be nice and start from the back of their month and move forward as the need arises. I realize that some of our politicians like Barack Obama would be toothless within a week of taking office but that should be the penalty for lying to the citizens of the United States.

我们还要充满慈悲地做，从嘴巴里最后的那一颗开始拔，按需要逐步朝前进行。我敢说我们的一些政客，接管政府后不出一周就会一颗牙不剩，这就是向美国人民撒谎的结果。

The wording in this law; should be written in simple language that a first grade student could understand. Now I know it would be hard to find politicians, which have that high, a level of intelligence but we also could help them out by writing it for them.

这条法律的条文，应该用最简单的文字写成，让一年级的学生都能明白。目前要找到这种高水平的知识分子政客也不容易，其实我们也可以帮他们起草这条法律。

In this law we would want it to say; for every lie you tell to the citizens of the United States we get to pull one tooth out of your month. No false teeth can be made to replace teeth pulled out for lies told to the citizens of the United States. If your significant other helps you in the telling of a lie then we get to pull a tooth out of their mouth as well.

我们可以按我们的希望如此下笔：你每对美国人民撒一次谎，我们就被允许拔掉你一颗牙。而且，因对美国人民撒谎而被拔掉的牙，不允许装假牙。如果你的配偶帮你们撒谎，我们同样被允许拔掉你的配偶的牙。

Children area free from said punishment unless they give the speech for their father/mother running for public office, if lies were told in that speech then they should receive the same punishment as their parents.

以上惩罚对未成年的孩子无效，除非就范在他们的父母参加政府竞选期间，为帮助他们的父母中选而撒谎，那他们必须接受同样的惩罚。

If you repeated a lie to help out one of your colleagues, you lose a tooth also. If you can prove that you didn’t know it was a lie then you will not have a tooth pulled. Since your word is worthless, you would have to show us, the citizens of the United States, some hard evidence that you didn’t know that this statement was a lie.

每重复一次同伙的谎言，也必须丢一颗牙。当然，如果能证明你不知道重复的是谎言，还是可以保住牙齿的。如此情形，言词已毫无价值了，那就必须要有事件或行动作为强有力的证词，向美国公民证实你不知道讲的是一个谎言。

I believe if we could get this law passed, it would do more to keep them inline than any amount of jail time they could possibly receive for breaking the laws of the United States. Why that, politicians are like models they are aware of their appearance, could you imagine a politician trying to give a speech with half his/her teeth missing.

我相信这条法律的出台，比因触犯美国法律而受判的任何期限的刑法都更能有效地把他们框在正道上。道理很简单，政客们都像模特儿一样注重他们的仪表，你难道可以想象哪个政客空着半口的牙在台上讲演。

Now will this law stop politicians from lying, no but we could enjoy seeing them at their campaigns trying to give a speech with half their teeth missing. We would know what kind of person was trying to get elected to public office. Some of us might care enough to vote for the other candidate.

这条法律能不能让他们停止撒谎呢？当然不能，但可以给我们机会享受观看他们空着半口牙在上面做竞选讲演。我们就能清楚地看到是些什么样的人在上面竞选进入政府办公厅，也好让真正关心国家未来的人去选别的人。

One enjoyment we could have is; seeing them trying to pronounced words with half their teeth missing. Some words would sound extremely funny being missed pronounced by them and this would also give us an indication on how often they tell lies.

我们还有权享受的另一个乐趣是，听他们用半口牙发音，有些字发走了音是会让人捧腹不止的，同时我们也可以数算他们撒了多少谎。
