After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, 'Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself! 去年我有過有趣的經(jīng)歷。在離開法國南部的一個(gè)小村莊后，我繼續(xù)駛往下一個(gè)城鎮(zhèn)。途中，一個(gè)青年人向我招手。我把車停下，他向我提出要求搭車。他一上車，我就用法語向他問早上好，他也同樣用法語回答我。除了個(gè)別幾個(gè)單詞外，我根本不會法語。旅途中我們誰也沒講話。就要到達(dá)那個(gè)鎮(zhèn)時(shí)，那青年突然開了口，慢慢地說道：“你會講英語嗎？” 我很快了解到，他自己就是個(gè)英國人！ Lesson 15 Good news 佳音 The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when. I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come. 'Mr. Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice. 'Don't interrupt,' he said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year! 秘書告訴我說哈姆斯沃斯先生要見我。我走進(jìn)他的辦公室，感到非常緊張。我進(jìn)去的時(shí)候，他連頭也沒抬。待我坐下后，他說生意非常不景氣。他還告訴我，公司支付不起這么龐大的工資開支，有20個(gè)人已經(jīng)離去。我知道這次該輪到我了。 “哈姆斯沃斯先生，”我無力地說。 “不要打斷我的話，”他說。 然后他微笑了一下告訴我說，我每年將得到1,000 英鎊的額外收入。 Lesson 16 A polite request 彬彬有禮的要求 If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car:' Sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a "No Parking" area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.' If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it! 一旦你把汽車停錯(cuò)了地方，交通警很快就會發(fā)現(xiàn)。如果他沒給你罰單就放你走了，算你走運(yùn)。然而，情況并不都是這樣，交通警有時(shí)也很客氣。有在瑞典度假，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我的車上有這樣一個(gè)字條：“先生，歡迎您光臨我們的城市。此處是‘禁止停車’區(qū)。如果您對我們街上的標(biāo)牌稍加注意，您在此會過得很愉快的。謹(jǐn)此提請注意?！比绻闶盏竭@樣的懇求，你是不會不遵照執(zhí)行的！ Lesson 17 Always young 青年常駐 My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings. Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone ever asked her how old she is, she always answers, 'My dear, it must be terrible to be grown up!' 我的姑姑詹妮弗是位演員，她至少也有35歲了。盡管如此，她卻常在舞臺上扮演小姑娘。詹妮弗很快又要參加一個(gè)新劇的演出。這，她將扮演一個(gè)17歲的少女。演出時(shí)她必須穿一條鮮紅色的裙子和黑色的長筒襪。去年在演另一個(gè)劇時(shí)，她不得不穿短襪和一件鮮艷的橘紅色的衣服。一旦有人問起她有多大年紀(jì)，她總是回答：“親愛的，長成大人真可怕??！” Lesson18 He often does this! 他經(jīng)常干這種事！ After I had had lunch at a village inn, I looked for my bag. I had left it on a chair beside the door and now it wasn't there! As I was looking for it, the inn-keeper came in. 'Did you have a good meal?' he asked. 'Yes, thank you,' I answered, 'but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag.' The inn-keeper smiled and immediately went out. In a few minutes he returned with my bag and gave it back to me.

'It may have begun already,' Susan answered. 'I hurried to the ticket-office. 'May I have two tickets please ?' I asked. 'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said. 'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed. Just then, a man hurried to the ticket-office. 'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked. 'Certainly,' the girl said. 'Could I have those two tickets please ?' I asked. 'Certainly, 'the girl said, 'but they are for next Wednesday's performance. 'I might as well have them,' I said sadly. “劇馬上就要開演了，”我說。 “也許已經(jīng)開演了呢，”蘇珊回答說。 我匆匆趕到售票處，問：“我可以買兩張票嗎？” “對不起，票已售完。”那位姑娘說。 “真可惜！”蘇珊大聲說。 正在這時(shí)，一個(gè)男子匆匆奔向售票處。 “我可以退掉這兩張票嗎？”他問。 “當(dāng)然可以，”那姑娘說。 我馬上又回到售票處。 “我可以買那兩張票嗎？”我問。 “當(dāng)然可以，不過這兩張票是下星期三的，您是否還要呢？” “我還是買下的好，”我垂頭喪氣地說。 Lesson20 One man in a boat 獨(dú)坐孤舟 Fishing is my favorite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything-not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say.' It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all! 釣魚是我特別喜愛的一項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。我經(jīng)常一釣數(shù)小時(shí)卻一無所獲，但我從不為此煩惱。有些垂釣者就是不走運(yùn)，他們往往魚釣不到，卻釣上來些舊靴子和垃圾。我的運(yùn)氣甚至還不及他們。我什么東西也未釣到過 -- 就連舊靴子也沒有。我總是在河上呆上整整一上午，然后空著袋子回家?！澳憧蓜e再釣魚了！”我的朋友們說，“這是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間?！比欢麄儧]有認(rèn)識到重要的一點(diǎn)，我并不是真的對釣魚有興趣，我感興趣的只是獨(dú)坐孤舟，無所事事！
