第154期:你敢说我孩子丑

 　　今天分享一个好玩的故事。

　　The Bus Driver And The Mother

　　A young woman got onto a London bus one morning. She was carrying a baby. As she was buying her ticket, the bus driver said,

　　'That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen!'

　　The woman was furious¹. With a furious expression² on her face, she stormed down to the back of the bus and sat down next to another passenger. The passenger noticed how upset she was, so he asked her,

　　'What happened?'

　　'I've never been so furious in my life. That bus driver insulted³ me.'

　　'That's terrible,' sympathized⁴ the passenger. 'How rude! You're a customer so he should be polite to you. Tell you what, why don't you go and tell him how angry you are?'

　　'Ok, then,' the woman said, 'You're right. I will. I'll go and tell him what I think about his behavior.'

　　'Good idea,' said the passenger, 'and I'll hold your monkey for you.'

　　公车司机和母亲

　　一天早上一个年轻女子上了伦敦公共汽车。她抱着一个婴儿。当她买车票时，公共汽车司机说：“这是我见过的最丑的婴儿！”

　　女人大怒。她脸上带着愤怒的表情，冲到车尾，坐在另一位乘客旁边。乘客注意到她有多不安，所以他问她：“发生什么事了？”

　　“我这辈子从没这么生气过。那个公共汽车司机竟然这样羞辱我。”

　　“太可怕了”他同情地说。“这司机太粗鲁了，你是顾客，所以他应该对你有礼貌。我跟你说，你应该告诉他你有多生气。”

　　“好吧，那么，”女人说，“你说得对。我会的。我现在就和他说。”

　　“好主意，”乘客说，“我来抱你的猴子。”
