2012考研英语复习指导:新概念英语二之你会讲英语吗
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. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. 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!’
New words and expressions 生词和短语
amusing adj. 好笑的,有趣的
experience n. 经历
wave v. 招手
lift n. 搭便车
reply v. 回答
language n. 语言
journey n. 旅行

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,我就用法语向他问早上好,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!
