Lesson 14 Do you speak English
Lesson 14 Do you speak English
中文
去年我有过一次有趣的经历。
在离开法国南部的一个小村庄后，我继续驶往下一个城镇。
途中，一个青年人向我招手。
我把车停下，他向我提出要求搭车。
他一上车，我就用法语向他问好，他也同样用法语回答我。
除了个别几个单词外，我根本不会法语。
旅途中我们谁也没讲话。
就要到达那个镇时，那青年突然开了口，慢慢地说道“你会讲英语吗？” 我很快了解到，他自己就是个英国人！
英文
I had an amusing [əˈmjuːzɪŋ] experience [ɪkˈspɪəriəns] last year.
After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to next town.
On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift [lɪft].
As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied [rɪˈplaɪd] in the same language.
Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all.
Neither of us spoke during the journey [ˈdʒɜːni].
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!
