I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift.

我去年有一次很神奇的經(jīng)歷。在我離開法國南部的一個(gè)小村莊后，我駕車開往下一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)。在路上，一位男士向我招手。我停下來，他要我載他一程。

As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey.

他上我車以后，我用法語對(duì)他說“你好”然后他也用法語回復(fù)我?？墒俏也⒉欢喾ㄕZ，除了常用的幾句。我們一路上就沒再說幾句話了。

I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, ‘Do you speak English?’As I soon learnt, he was English himself!

快到的時(shí)候，這位男士立刻慢慢地說，“你講英語嗎？” 這時(shí)我立馬意識(shí)到，他原來是個(gè)英國人！
