英文笑話：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(jié)果被水燙傷了。“這太可惡了，”他抱怨道，“標(biāo)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(yīng)該知道這一點(diǎn)。”
“等等，”那位顧客咆哮著，“另外一個(gè)龍頭標(biāo)的也是C。”
“那當(dāng)然，”經(jīng)理說道：“這個(gè)C代表冷。畢竟，蒙特利爾是個(gè)雙語城市。”
