An Irishman was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet.
某愛爾蘭人癡肥得厲害，他的醫生要他節食。
"I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, then eat regularly again for two days, then skip a day....and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, you should have lost at least 5 lbs."
「我要你連續兩天正常進食，跳一天，然後正常進食兩天，如此進行兩個星期。下次來見我時，你應該起碼可以減五磅。」
When the Irishman returned he shocked the doctor by having lost 30lbs.
愛爾蘭人如期再來時，把醫生嚇了一跳，因為他減了三十磅！
"Why that's amazing !" said the doctor. "Did you follow my instructions?"
「咦！奇怪耶！」醫生說：「你是否遵照我的指示做的呵？」
The Irishman nodded...
愛爾蘭人點點頭。
"I'll tell you though, I t'aut I were going to drop dead on that 3rd day."
「不過我想告訴您， 到第三日我辛苦到想死呢......」
"From the hunger you mean?" asked the doctor.
「是餓得太難受吧？」醫生問。
"No, from the bloody skippin!"
