表情符号写的笑话你能get到吗？亚当•凯
"Every time I gig abroad - whether it's France or Finland - I always try to do some material in their native tongue, so I'm getting pretty used to translating jokes... But Emoji is probably the hardest language I've ever had to tackle.
“每次我去国外演出，无论是法国还是芬兰，我总是试着用当地的母语做演出素材，所以我已经很习惯翻译笑话了，不过表情符号恐怕是我翻译过的最难的语言了。”
"There's over 20 symbols for clocks, but no symbol for 'the'. Still, hopefully these classic jokes make sense..."
“‘时钟’所对应的符号有20多个，但‘the’却一个也没有。但我仍希望这些经典的笑话可以被演绎出来。”
The show will take place at Three UK’s Edinburgh store over the opening weekend of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, from August 7 - 10.
这场演出将会在爱丁堡边缘艺术节(Edinburgh Fringe Festival)的首周末、8月7日至10日举行，地点在英国运营商Three UK爱丁堡店。
The special pictorial one-liners will be displayed on a digital screen in the store window, with the English translation accompanying them to cater for the less emoji-fluent passer by.
这个由图片组成的特殊小笑话表演将在Three UK爱丁堡店橱窗的电子屏幕上呈现，为照顾那些不怎么熟悉表情符号的路人，屏幕上还将配有英文翻译。
