Lesson 14 Do you speak English?
你会讲英语吗?

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. 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。

On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. 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。

As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. 他一上车,我就用法语向他问早上好,他也同样用法语回答我。

Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. 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。

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!' 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!
