I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, "Do you speak English? As I soon learnt, he was English himself!

去年我有過一次有趣的經歷。在離開法國南部的一個小村莊后,我繼續(xù)駛往下一個城鎮(zhèn)。途中,一個青年人向我招手。我把車停下,他向我提出要求搭車。他一上車,我就用法語向他問早上好,他也同樣用法語回答我。除了個別幾個單詞外,我根本不會法語。旅途中我們誰也沒講話。就要到達那個鎮(zhèn)時,那青年突然開了口,慢慢地說道:“你會講英語嗎?” 我很快了解到,他自己就是個英國人!
