英語笑話:Chaude and Cold 熱與冷

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."

蒙特利爾咖啡館的一位顧客擰開盥洗室的水龍頭，結果被水燙傷了。“這太可惡了，”他抱怨道，“標著C的龍頭流出的是開水。”

“可是，先生，C代表Chaude，在法語里代表'熱'。如果您住在蒙特利爾的話就應該知道這一點。”

“等等，”那位顧客咆哮著，“另外一個龍頭標的也是C。”

“那當然，”經理說道：“這個C代表冷。畢竟，蒙特利爾是個雙語城市。”
