One day, a Mexican was peacefully resting on a side road with his horse in the fields of the Texas valley. Suddenly a man approaches him and inquires about the horse: "Hey, I'll give you $50 for your horse; sell it to me." The Mexican replies "no, he no look so good." So the man keeps insisting for he has taken quite liking for the horse, "O.K. I'll give you $100 for the horse; I like it." Again the Mexican replies, "no sir, he no look so good." The man really wants the horse so he offers the Mexican $200. Finally the Mexican says, "O.K. but he no look so good." So the man mounts the horse and goes happily on his way. Several minutes later the Mexican sees the man who bought the horse coming towards him all beaten up, with bruises and blood all over him. The man says: "why didn't you tell me that this horse was blind?" To which the Mexican replies: "sir, I told you he no look so good!!" | |||

ある日、テキサスの路上で、メキシコ人が平和そうに馬を連れて、休憩していた。 突然、男が近づいてきて言った。 「その馬を50ドルで売ってくれないか」 メキシコ人は、たどたどしい英語で、"no sir, he no look so good."（そんなにいい馬じゃないよ」と答えた。 ．．．．交渉ののち、200ドルで話がついた。 しばらくして、男が戻ってきて文句を言った。 「どうしてこの馬の目が見えないことを言わなかったんだ。」 メキシコ人は、"sir, I told you he no look so good!!"と答えた。 つまり、メキシコ人は「馬の目が見えない」と言っていたのに、アメリカ人はそういう風にはとらなかったってことね(^^; |
