Several people shout, “Come in!” And a small man opens the front door and comes in. 然后门铃响了。几个人喊道:“请进!”然后一个小个子男人打开门走了进来。 Nobody knows him but the host goes to meet him and takes him to have a drink. 没有人认识他,但是主人上前迎接了他并带他去喝一杯。 The man sits there for an hour and drinks happily. Then suddenly he stops and looks at his host. 那个人坐在那里一个小时,高兴地喝着酒。然后他突然停下来,看着他的主人。 “You know,” he says, “Nobody invites me to this party. I don’t know you. I don’t know your wife and I don’t know any of your guests. My wife and I want to go out in our car, but one of your guests’ car is in front of our gate, so I come here to find him and my wife is waiting in our car for me to come back!” “你知道,”他说,“没有人邀请我参加这个聚会。我不认识你。我不认识你的妻子,也不认识你的客人。我妻子和我想开车出去,但你的一位客人的车就在我们的门前,所以我来找他,我妻子在我们的车里等着我回去!”往期链接:
