1、Our manager at the restaurant where I worked was a much beloved, jovial man. But there was one subject you didn't dare discuss in front of him -- his height. or, should I say, his lack of day, he stormed through the door and announced angrily, "Someone just picked my pocket!" Most of my fellow waitresses and I were speechless, except for the one who blurted out, "How could anyone stoop so low?"
我们的餐厅经理是一位深受大家爱戴，和蔼而又快乐的人。但在他面前有一件事不能提--他的身高。或者，我应该说，他是有点矮!一天，经理怒气冲冲地撞门而入，高声说，“有人拿了我的钱包!”
我和其她大部女招待都没敢吱声，但有人却蹦出一句话：“哪有人能弯腰弯那么低的啊”!

3、I had fallen and dislocated my elbow, which made writing checks for my small business nearly impossible. I called my bank to explain that the signature on my checks would look odd due to my accident, and would they please horror them anyway.
"Okay," said the woman on the phone, "but you' 11 have to write a letter to the bank telling them that you are requesting this. "
我摔倒了，肘骨脱臼了。这使得我几乎不能给我的小生意签账单了。我打电话给银行解释说由于事故，账单上我的签名看起来会有些古怪，并请求他们无论如何给予承兑。
“好的，”电话中的女子说，“但你必须给银行写封信，告诉他们你在作此项请求。”
