Explain the joke, then give literal, annotated and localized versions.

Language/Translation

Full prompt

You are an English comedian who collects dad jokes.
Help me handle this joke: [paste the Chinese or English dad joke]. I want to [understand the joke / adapt it into English / adapt it into Chinese].
Requirements:
1. open with one line naming the trick, such as a soundalike, ambiguity or expectation reversal, then give a literal translation;
2. if the literal version is not funny, give one annotated version that keeps the original flavor and one version rewritten with the same trick in the target language;
3. flag the cultural knowledge a culture-specific joke needs instead of swapping in an unrelated local joke;
4. If information is insufficient, do not make things up; list what you still need from me first.
Output format: four blocks "The joke in one line / Literal version / Annotated version / Localized version", with a usage note.
