双语对照：9/11笑话集
Fall_Ark @ 2011.09.11 , 07:33 下午今天是9/11的十周年，在悲伤的同时，这一“禁忌话题”也为西方网友们——主要是那些不是美国人的网友和那些是美国人的网友——提供了说笑的素材。一来，破坏禁忌本身拥有快感，粗话脏话、挑战权威、露天野合等等的吸引力就在于此；二来，幽默本身也是缓解痛苦、抚平创伤的一种方式。在这里，摘选一些9/11主题的笑话出来，与大家分享。
两点说明：
1、由于不少笑话有文字游戏的成分，因此一律贴出双语版。双关部分会同时翻出或加注释。
2、主要出自英美网友。很多段子的出处已经不可考，链接仅供参考——虽然大多数都是Sickipedia上的链接，但里面显然也有不少是美国人想出的段子。此外，图片基本都是出自美国网友。
略有重复。

I'm not convinced that faith can move mountains, but I've seen what it can do to skyscrapers.
“信仰可以移山”，我并不相信，信仰对摩天大楼能做什么，倒还真是见到了。
（语出圣经，耶稣曾提及只要有“信（心）”，哪怕叫山挪开，山也一定会挪开）
'A' is the 1st letter of the alphabet and 'H' is the 8th letter, right?
9/11 = 0.81818181 = HAHAHAHA
按字母顺序来算，“A”是第一个，“H”是第八个，对不对？
所以 9/11 = 0.81818181... = HAHAHAHA...
“Never Forget”是常见于重大悲剧事件后的台词，可译为“永不忘怀”或“勿忘”

是……我擦真的是飞机！！
America's policy of shooting first and asking questions later has always been their downfall.
I mean, just think how useful King Kong could have been on September the 11th.
美国人先开枪后问话的一贯方针是他们众多灾难的罪魁祸首。
想想看，9/11时要是有金刚在，那不跟吃饭似的！

And London got 7/7.
Rating's don't lie, america.

American Airlines chiefs were devastated when their planes hit The Twin Towers. Not so much because of all the innocent people who died but because they had to scrap their just about to be launched multi-million dollar advertising campaign based around the slogan: 'American Airlines- We fly you straight into the office.'
美国航空公司的老总们得知他们的飞机撞上双子塔时如丧考妣，倒不是因为有这么多无辜的人丧生于这场灾难，而是因为他们刚花了好几百万元美金打造了一次宣传攻势，准备推出他们的新口号：“美国航空——让我们把你直接飞到办公室。”
I love how the Americans are blaming British Petroleum for the oil spill even though it was an American component that failed which caused the whole thing.
In keeping with the theory, I blame American Airlines for 9/11.
I saw them do it.
看到美国人在那儿把墨西哥湾漏油全都怪到英国石油头上真是太喜感了，明明造成漏油的原因是美国那边部分的人员啊。（原文略有不明确，负责钻探的Transocean公司是瑞士的，而钻井平台“深水地平线”则是在韩国组装的）
按这套理论，我就说9/11全是美国航空的错。
我看到是他们干的呗。

As someone who worked in the South Tower on 9/11 I was disturbed to find so many of you Brits see this as a source of humour. Everybody in the vicinity lost something that day. I'd been working on a PowerPoint presentation for three days. Had pie charts and everything. Was about to save it on my Flashcard when the second plane hit.
Three fucking days!
作为一名在9/11当天身处世贸南塔的幸存者，我必须指出，你们这些英国人把这当成是一个笑料实在使我忧心。那一天，被袭击地点的每个人都失去了很多……当时，我正在处理花了三天才做完的PPT演示文稿，图表画面什么的齐全，正准备存到我的U盘上的时候，第二架飞机撞了上来。
他妈的整整三天啊！！！
美国饮料Kool-Aid广告形象的经典登场方式：大喊“Oh Yeah！”破墙而出
September 11th 2001, Arab terrorists fly planes into buildings, killing 3000 American citizens on US soil.
September 11th 1944, The RAF firebomb Darmstadt killing 11,500 German citizens on their own soil.
Can't help thinking that once again, Britain just does it better, first.
2001年9月11日，阿拉伯恐怖分子开着飞机撞了大楼，在当地杀死了3000多名美国平民。

Statistically 9/11 Americans won't get this.
从统计上来说，9/11的美国人看不懂这个笑话。
（get双关“看懂”和“看到”，一方面，9/11中丧生的人自然看不到这个笑话，另一方面，11个美国人里有9个看不懂这个笑话，是在嘲笑美国人蠢）
I don't know how you can make jokes about people dying or who are about to die.
My brother died on 9/11, when the twin towers were attacked - he left behind two little girls and a boy.
You lot have no idea of the pain his family goes through every time you mention that date.
Even if people don't visit this sick site, the jokes still continue and are passed around by text, so don't give me that "you shouldn't be looking at our site which is for depraved people like us", it doesn't lessen the grief.
My brother was a good man, it's such a shame that he got caught up in it all and that the FBI didn't question why he was taking flying lessons in the first place.
真无法理解，你们竟然能拿那些死了的人们和将要死去的人们开玩笑。
我的弟弟在9/11中丧生，他和双子塔一起死去，撒手离开了他还没长大的两个女儿和一个儿子。
你们这些人根本无法体会到他的家人们听到“9/11”时所感受的痛苦。
就算人们不来这个恶毒、下流的网站，这些笑话仍然会以文字的形式在网上传播，所以请不要对我说什么“这个网站就是给我们这群没品的混蛋开的呀，你别看不就行了”，这种话根本于事无补。
我的弟弟是个好人，被卷入这一切真是无尽的遗憾。同样遗憾的是，FBI怎么就不好好问问他学开飞机是为什么呢……
