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(guò)一次有趣的經(jīng)歷。在離開(kāi)法國(guó)南部的一個(gè)小村莊后,我繼續(xù)駛往下一個(gè)城鎮(zhèn)。途中,一個(gè)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(yǔ)向他問(wèn)早上好,他也同樣用法語(yǔ)回答我。除了個(gè)別幾個(gè)單詞外,我根本不會(huì)法語(yǔ)。旅途中我們誰(shuí)也沒(méi)講話。就要到達(dá)那個(gè)鎮(zhèn)時(shí),那青年突然開(kāi)了口,慢慢地說(shuō)道:“你會(huì)講英語(yǔ)嗎?” 我很快了解到,他自己就是個(gè)英國(guó)人!
