呵呵小朋友,我給你一個(gè)吧,不難的,很適合你,是一篇小笑話
A man took a pair of shoes to a shoe repair shop and said to the shoemaker,"I'd like you to repair these shoes for me,please."
"Certainly,sir," the shoemaker said.
"When will they be ready?" the man asked.
"I'm a bit busy,but they'll be ready for you on Thursday." he said.
That's fine," the man said,and left the shop.
The next morning he received a letter,offering him a job in another country.Within 24 hours he was on an airplane to his new job.
Twenty years passed and he returned to his hometown.
He remembered his shoes.
"They were a good pair of shoes," he thought."I wonder if the shoemaker is still there and still has them.I'll go and see.擾He was pleased to see that the shoemaker was still in the same shop ,although he was an old man by now.
"Good morning," he said to him."Twenty years ago,I brought in a pair of shoes to be repaired.Do you think you've still got them?"
"Name?" the old shoemaker asked.
"Smith," the man said.
"I'll go and see.They may be out back.
The shoemaker went out to the back of his shop -and a few minutes later returned ,carrying the pair of shoes.
"Here we are," he said."One pair of brown shoes to be repaired.I'm a bit busy now,but they'll probably be ready on Thursday."
以下是翻譯：
一個(gè)男人帶了一雙鞋子去修鞋店,他對(duì)補(bǔ)鞋者說(shuō)：“請(qǐng)幫我把這雙鞋子補(bǔ)好吧.”
“當(dāng)然可以,先生.”補(bǔ)鞋者答到.
“你什么時(shí)候可以修好呢?”男人問到.
“我現(xiàn)在有點(diǎn)忙,不過可以確保周四幫你補(bǔ)好.”
“嗯,很好!”說(shuō)完,那個(gè)男人就離開了.
第二天早晨,那個(gè)男人收到了一封給他在另一個(gè)國(guó)家提供工作的信.在24小時(shí)內(nèi)他就已經(jīng)登上了去工作地的航班上.
二十年之后,他回到了自己的家鄉(xiāng).
他想起了自己的那雙鞋子.
“那是一雙很好的鞋子”,他腦海里想著,“我想那個(gè)補(bǔ)鞋者還會(huì)不會(huì)在那里,并且還保存著那雙鞋子呢?我得去看看.”他到那以后,高興地發(fā)現(xiàn)那位補(bǔ)鞋者還在同一個(gè)補(bǔ)鞋店里,只不過,到了現(xiàn)在他已經(jīng)是位白發(fā)蒼蒼的老人了.
“早上好!”他對(duì)那位補(bǔ)鞋者說(shuō),“二十年前,我?guī)е浑p鞋子來(lái)您這里補(bǔ),請(qǐng)問那雙鞋子還在您這里嗎?”
“你的名字是?”老補(bǔ)鞋者問道.
“史密斯.”男人回答.
“我去找找看,也許它還在我房后的儲(chǔ)存室里.”
那位補(bǔ)鞋者進(jìn)到了他商店的后頭,過了幾分鐘他出來(lái)了,并帶著一雙鞋子.
“鞋在這呢!”,老補(bǔ)鞋者說(shuō)道,“一雙棕色的鞋子待補(bǔ),但是,我現(xiàn)在有點(diǎn)忙,或許我只能在這個(gè)周四幫你補(bǔ)好了.”
