--  英语笑话It’s too far
  My mother often feeds pigeons in the park near her home in Portland, Maine. One day, as she fed the growing flock surrounding her, a man came over to her.\'While you\'re feeding perfectly good bread to the birds,\'he told mother angrily, \'there are people starving in Africa.\'
  Mother, never one to back down from a fight, looked him in the eye and said, \'I\'m sorry,\'but I can\'t throw that far!\'

  我母亲常在缅因州波特兰市她家附近的公园里喂鸽子。一天,正当她喂着 身边越聚越多的鸽群时, 一个男人向她走去。
  “您将这么好的面包喂鸟,’他愤愤地对母亲说道,“而非洲却有人在挨饿。”
  我母亲,一位从来也不会在斗争中退缩的人,瞪着他说道:
  “很抱歉,可我没法扔那么远!”
