A Chinese emperor ordered one of his servants to find him a hundred-year-old egg.

 

Returning empty-handed, the servant explained, "No hundred-year-old eggs, Master, but I can get you a fifty-year-old egg."

 

"No, thanks, you know I hate instant¹ food!" the emperor replied.

 

一位中国的皇帝命令他的仆人去给他弄一个有百年历史的鸡蛋来吃。

 

他的仆人空手而归，对皇上解释说：“殿下，我找不到一百年的鸡蛋，但我可以给你找到一个五十年的鸡蛋。”

 

“不，那可不行，你知道我是讨厌速食的。”
