　　幽默雙語小故事：我當您的兒子

　　Shortly after our teen-age son started his first job at a family restaurant，we decided to surprise him by having dinner there one night. I was warned by other family members not to embarrass him by making it obvious I was his mother. Being an exuberant parent，I found this difficult but managed to act like other customers.I kept my head bent over the menu and politely accepted silverware and a glass of water---all without glancing up.

　　我們上中學的兒子開始在一家餐館打工做招待不久，我們決定找個晚上到他打工的餐館吃頓飯，讓他大吃一驚。家裡的其他人告誡我千萬不要顯示出我是他的媽媽，以免讓他感到難為情。但是，我是個開朗的母親，要想做到這點確實很難。但我還是裝作像其他顧客一樣。我低著頭看著選單，很禮貌地接過餐具和一杯水，眼睛始終沒敢抬。

　　I realized I may have been a bit too successful in keeping my distance when my son stared pointedly at me and said，“Hello，my name is Andrew，and I'll be your son for this evening.”

　　我感到這個分寸保特得太成功了。這時我們的兒子緊盯著我說:“你好，我叫安德普，今晚為您服務，您就把我當成是您的兒子好了。”

　　幽默雙語小故事：訓練有素的木匠

　　While carpenters were working outside the old house I had just bought，I busied myself with indoor cleaning. I had just finished washing the floor when one of the workmen asked to use the bathroom. With dismay I looked from his muddy boots to my newly scrubbed floors. "Just a minute，”

　　I said，thinking of a quick solution. "I'll put down newspapers. "

　　木匠工人在我剛買的房子外邊幹活，我忙著房內的清潔工作。就在我剛擦完地板時，一位工人進來要求用一下洗手間，我看他的髒靴子，又看新擦的地板，說道:“等一會兒，”我邊說邊考慮對策。“讓我先在地上鋪層報紙吧。”

　　That weekend, I repeated the episode over the phone to her grandmother. Grandma was amused，too. She said, "I guess you must be taking her out to eat too often."

　　那個週末，我把這事用電話告訴了她的外婆，外婆也被逗樂了，她說:“我想這肯定是你經常帶她到外邊吃飯的緣故。”
