Two lawyers were out hunting when they came upon a pair of tracks. They stopped and examined the tracks closely.

两个律师一同去打猎。有一次,他们俩发现了一连串脚印,于是仔细检查起来。

The first lawyer announced, "Those are deer tracks. It's deer season, so we should follow the tracks and find our prey."

第一个律师说“这些是小鹿(deer)的脚印。因为现在是小鹿活动的时候,我们应该跟着脚步走,这样就能发现猎物!”

The second lawyer responded,"Those are clearly elk tracks, and elk are out of season. If we follow your advice, we'll waste the day."

第二个律师回答说:“这显然是驼鹿(elk)的脚印,而现在已经不是驼鹿的活动季节了。如果听你的,今天就相当于啥都没干了。”

Each attorney believed himself to be the superior woodsman, and they both bitterly stuck to their guns.

两个律师都觉得自己是对的,他们都忠于自己的看法。

They were still arguing when the train hit them.

直到被一大堆鹿冲撞开来。
