英語笑話:安全起見
foyer門廳、休息室，step on踩到
笑話原文】
To be on the Safe Side
In a cinema, during a performance, one of the audiences gets up, making his way along the row of seats and going out into the foyer.
A few minutes later he returns and asks the man sitting at the head of the row.
"Excuse me, was it your foot I stepped on when I was going out a moment ago?"
"Yes, but it doesn't really matter. It didn't hurt at all."
"Oh, no, it isn't that. I only want to make sure that this is my row."
中文譯文】
保證沒走錯
在一家電影院里，一名觀眾在演出期間站了起來，沿著他那排位子走到休息室去了。
幾分鐘后，他回到那排位子并問坐在首位的那位男士道：
“對不起，請問我剛才出去的時候是踩著你的腳嗎?”
“是的，不過沒什么關(guān)系，一點也不疼。”
“噢，不，我不是這個意思。我只是想確認(rèn)一下這是不是我的那排位子。”
詞匯講解】
1. to be on the safe side 為了安全起見
例：Just to be on the safe side, we have to leave ASAP. 為了慎重起見，我們必須盡快地離開這里。
2. make one's way 向……進(jìn)發(fā)，朝……走去：I made my way towards the harbor. 我朝港口的方向走。
3. at the head of... 在……的最前面;相反，“在……的結(jié)尾，末端”就是 at the end of...
4. step on one's foot 踩到某人的腳。 Sorry, I didn't mean to step on your foot. 對不起，我不是故意踩你的。
5.hurt疼痛/使受傷。現(xiàn)在流行的“傷不起”怎么翻譯呢?就是can’t afford any hurt
