雙語笑話:尋找伴侶 Looking For A Companion

    My Roommate

    My roommate was interested in a young man in her English-literature class， but she was too shy to let him know. One day she overheard him say he was on his way to the library for a certain book. She rushed to the library， found the book and stuck in it a letter from her mother.

    "Why would he want to read a letter from your mother？" I asked.

    "He wouldn't， but if he's any kind of gentleman， he'll return it to me " Her dorm and room numbers were on the envelope， of course.

    The next day he appeared with the letter and asked my roommate out on a date. "Couldn't fail，" she later told me. "The book was Great Expectations.

    我的室友

    我的室友對她英國文學課上的一個年輕人有意思，但又不好意思讓他知道。一天，她聽到他和別人說要去圖書館借某本書。她沖到圖書館，找到那本書，夾進去她媽媽來的一封信。

    “他為什么會要讀你媽媽來的信呢？”我問。

    “他不會讀的。但如果他還算是個紳士的話，他會把信還給我的。”當然啦，她的宿舍及房間號碼就在信封上。

    第二天，他拿著那封信出現了，并約我室友出去。“錯不了的，”她后來對我說，“那本書的書名是《遠大前程》。”
