雙語幽默故事—總在你身後
Mr. Smith lived in the country, but he worked in an office in the big city, so five days a week he went to work by train every morning and came home the same way.
史密斯先生住在鄉下，但他在大城市的一個辦公室裏上班，所以他一週五天每天早上都乘火車去上班，然後又乘火車回家。
One morning he was reading his newspaper on the train when a man sitting behind him, who Mr. Smith had never met before, leaned1 forward, tapped him on the shoulder and spoke2 to him. The man said, "You're not leading a very interesting life, are you? You get on the same train at the same station at the same time every morning, and you always sit in the same seat and read the same newspaper."
一天早上，他在火車上正讀報紙，這時一個坐在他身後的男子(史密斯先生以前從未見過他)，向前靠着，輕輕拍他的肩膀，並對他講話。這男子說，“你的生活過得不是很有意思，是嗎?每天早上你在同一時間同一車站趕同一列火車，而且你總是坐在同一個座位上，讀着同一張報紙。”
Mr. Smith put his paper down, turned around, and said to the man angrily, "How do you know all that about me?"
史密斯先生放下報紙，轉過身來，生氣地對那人說道：“ 你怎麼知道關於我的這一切?”
"Because I'm always sitting in this seat behing you," the man answered.
“因爲我總是坐在你身後的這個座位上。”這男子回答說。
