During the recent blackout in New York City, my phone at the ferry company kept ringing. One caller asked if the ferry was running. “Yes,” I answered. “How? There's been a power failure in New York!” said the caller. “Don't worry,” said I. “Our ferry's plugged into the New Jersey side!”
在最近的紐約大停電中,我在渡輪公司的電話響個不停。一個人問渡輪開不開。我說照開。他說:“怎么會?紐約停電了。”我說:“別擔(dān)心,我們的渡輪把插頭插在新澤西那邊。”
