一个高技术笑话：罗尔斯罗伊斯的鸡枪
|||
收到一封转来的笑话，临时翻译了一下，英文原文附在最后。
这是罗尔斯-罗伊斯公司杂志上的一个真实的故事
罗尔斯罗伊斯的科学家们建造了一杆特制的枪，使用这杆枪他们想把死鸡发射到以极限速度飞行的客机和喷气飞机前窗的挡风玻璃上。这种想法就是想模拟经常发生的飞鸟撞击飞机的意外事故，并测试挡风玻璃的强度。
美国的工程师们听说了这杆枪，很想用来测试他们的新高速列车的挡风玻璃。然后经过安排，一杆枪被送到美国。
测试开始了，鸡冲出枪膛，把挡风玻璃撞成粉碎，重重砸在控制台上，反弹中把工程师的靠背撞成了两瓣，最后象离弦的弓箭射到驾驶室后墙上，在场的工程师们惊呆了！
吓傻了的美国佬向罗尔斯罗伊斯报告了这个灾难性的实验结果，同时附上他们的挡风玻璃的设计，请求英国的科学家给指点。
罗尔斯罗伊斯只给了一行回复作为备忘：
要给鸡解冻
英文原文：
Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens
at the windshields of airliners and military jets all travelling at
maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of
collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.
American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the
Windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a
gun was sent to the American engineers.
When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurled
out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to
smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's
back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin like an
arrow shot from a bow.
The horrified Yanks sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the
experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the
British scientists for suggestions.
Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo:
"Defrost the chicken."
"Defrost the chicken."
