Q: English jokes that translate well to Chinese?

Hi Chinese (and Chinese speaking) Answers users. Can you list some good English jokes that translate well to Chinese? Bonus points if you provide the characters. I'm also interested in translations of good Chinese jokes. Thanks.

Two cows are grazing in a field, and one says to the other, "Hey man, are you worried about this mad cow disease thing?" And the other one says "What do I care, I'm a helicopter? Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb" [you have to stick out your hands make a helicopter sound]

 

两头牛在操场吃草,一头对另外那头说,“这个疯牛病的事情,你害怕吗?” 然后另外那头牛说,“怕什么牛病啊,我是直升飞机呢! Bbbbbbbbbbbb...."

hi Rakifi:

what about this one? Is it the so-called black sense of humor?

就算是Believe,中间也藏了一个lie;就算是Friend,还是免不了会end;就算是Lover,还是可能会over;就算是Wife,心里也夹杂着if…… 让人欣慰的是: 就算是完全impossible,但还藏着个possible, 即便是Forget,也曾经get

 

I am afraid I might be bad at translating  but you probably can get it. It means there hides a "lie" in "believe". "Friend" will come to an end. "lover" will be "over", and the husband suspects "if" about his wife... But it also comforts people that there hides a "possible" in "impossible" and even if we have to "forget" some pains, it means we still have already "get" some happy time..

And this one:

Chinese: I'm sorry.

Foreigner: I'm sorry too!

Chinese: I'm sorry three.

Foreigner: What are you sorry for?!

Chinese: I'm sorry five!

  I've got 'em laughing with this one a few times:

    两个人是在一起工作的。 一个叫小王,另一个叫小猪。有一天小王对小猪说,“小猪,你能帮我个忙吗?我今天忙死了。肯定会晚点回家。你能去我的那里告诉我老婆我会晚点回家好不好?” 小猪说“当然可以啊!没问题!“几个小时后小猪下班了,马上回到小王的家悄悄门。王太太开门说”小猪你好。请进来喝茶“。小猪喝茶时候就看到王太太的长腿。他说”王太太,你的腿这么长也这么性感。如果你给我看你的腿我会给你一百块钱,好不好?“王太太想了几秒钟在说”好的”就给他看她的腿。然后小猪说”我看到你的内裤是粉红色,对不对?如果你给我看你的内裤,我会给你三百块钱,好不好?“王太太想了几分钟在说”好的,看一下” 在给他看她的内裤。然后小猪说“天啊,你这么漂亮,这么性感。如果你跟我一起做爱我会给你一千块钱,好不好?”王太太想了好几分钟在说“好的,过来“。

    几个小时后小王回家了。王太太在厨房里做着菜。小王说”老婆,小猪今晚来这里吗?“ 她说”来了“。小王说”他告诉你我会晚回家吗?“她说”告诉我了“。小王说”他给你我的工资吗?“

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
