幽默笑話精粹68：熱與冷

A patron in a 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.”

在蒙特利爾的一家餐廳里，一位顧客擰開了盟洗室的水龍頭，結果被水燙傷了。“這太可惡了，”他抱怨道，“標著c的水龍頭流出來的是開水。”

"But, Monsieur, C: stand for chaude一French for hot. You should know that if you live in Montreal.”

“可是，先生，C代表chaude—法語‘熱’的意思。如果您居住在蒙特利爾就得知道這一點。”

"Wait a minute,”roared the patron，"The other tap is also marked C.”

“等等，”那位顧客咆哮一聲，“另外一個水龍頭同樣標的是C。”

"Of course,” said the manager, "it stands for cold. After all, Montreal is a bilingual city.”

“當然，”經理說道:“這代表冷。畢竟，蒙特利爾是個雙語城市。”
