两个猎人
Two hunters were out in the woods when one of them suddenly collapsed. He didn't seem to be breathing, and his eyes had rolled back in his head.
His friend panicked. He pulled out his phone and called the emergency services.
"Help!" he gasped. "My friend's collapsed! I think he's dead! What should I do?"
The operator spoke in a calm, soothing voice. "Don't worry, sir. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There was a short silence. Then the operator heard a loud gunshot.
The man came back on the line. "OK," he said. "Now what?"
两个猎人在树林里打猎，其中一个突然倒在了地上。他好像没有了呼吸，眼睛也翻白了。
他的朋友慌了，赶紧掏出手机，拨打了急救电话。
“救命啊！”他上气不接下气地说，“我朋友倒下了！我觉得他死了！我该怎么办？”
接线员用平静、安抚的语气说：“别担心，先生，我能帮您。首先，我们先确定他已经死了。”
电话那头安静了一会儿。接着，接线员听到了一声响亮的枪声。
男人又拿起了电话：“好了。下一步呢？”
（笑点在于：接线员的意思是“先确认一下他是否真的死了”，可猎人把“make sure he's dead”理解成了“确保他死掉”。）
