PETS二級閱讀考試
蒙特利爾自助餐廳的一位顧客擰開盥洗室的龍頭,結果被水燙傷了。“這太可惡了,”他抱怨道,“標着C的龍頭流出的是開水。”
“可是,先生,C代表Chaude-法語裏代表‘熱’。如果您居住在蒙特利爾的話就得知道這一點。”
“等等,”那位外一個龍頭同樣標的是C。”
“當然,”經理說道:“它代表冷。畢竟,蒙特利爾是個雙語城市。”
Chaude and Cold
A patron in Montreal cafe turned on a tap in the washroom and got scalded. "This is an outrage," he complained. "The faucet marked C gave me boiling water."
"But, Monsieur, C stands for chaude - French for hot. You should know that if you live in Montreal."
"Wait a minute," roared the patron. "The other tap is also marked C."
"Of course," said the manager, "It stands for cold. After all, Montreal is a bilingual city."篇二
由於生意方面的事,羅賓遜先生得出趟門。因爲有點緊急,他決定坐飛機。乘機旅行時,他喜歡靠窗坐,故而一登機,他就尋找一個靠窗的座位。他發現只有一個靠窗的座位還空着。在那空座位邊坐着一名士兵。令羅賓遜先生納悶的是,這位士兵沒有坐靠窗的位置。羅賓遜先生不管那些,他馬上徑直朝那個空座位走去。
然而,等到了那兒,他看見座位上有則啓事,是用鋼筆寫的:“爲保持裝載平衡,特預設該位置,謝謝合作。”羅賓遜先生還從來沒有在飛機上見過如此不同尋常的啓事。不過,他想飛機上一定裝了什麼特別重的'物品,於是他找了個不靠窗的位置。
又有兩三個乘客試圖坐在那個士兵旁的靠窗座位上,他們看到那則啓事就走開了。當快滿座時,一位非常美麗的姑娘匆匆走進機艙。一直在注意進艙旅客的那個士兵趕緊拿掉他旁邊空座位上的啓事。士兵用這種辦法,成功地找到了一位姑娘一路作伴。
A Soldiers Brilliant Idea
Mr. Robinson had to travel somewhere on business, and as he was in a hurry, he decided to go by air. He liked sitting beside a window when he was flying, so when he got on to the plane, he looked for a window seat. He found all of them had already had been taken except for one. There was a soldier sitting in the seat beside this one, and Mr. Robinson was surprised that he had not taken the one by the window; but, anyhow, he at once went towards it.
When he reached it, however, he saw that there was a notice on it. It was written in ink and said, "This seat is preserved for proper load balance, thank you." Mr Robinson had never seen such an unusual notice in a plane before, but he thought that the plane must be carrying something particularly heavy in it, so he walked on and found another empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in.
Two or three people tried to sit in the window seat beside the soldier, the notice and went on, when the plane was nearly full, a very beautiful gi
rl hurried into the plane. The soldier, who was watching the passengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside himself and in this way succeededin having the company of the girl during the whole trip.
