In the Train
Two old ladies get into the train at Manchester. They are sitting in the same carriage chatting.
“Where are you going? “ asks one of them.
“To London, to see my son. And you?”
“To Edinburgh, to visit my daughter.”
“Oh, really?! How wonderful science is these days,” says the old lady to London. “We are sitting in one and the same carriage, but are going in opposite directions.”

在火车上
两个老太太在曼彻斯特登上火车，正坐在同一个车厢里聊天。
“你去哪？”其中一个老太太问。
“去伦敦，看儿子。你呢？”
“去爱丁堡看女儿。”
“喔，是吗？现在的科学多了不起啊，”去伦敦的老太太说。“我们坐在同一个车厢里，但朝着相反的方向开。 |
