我忘了那人是谁

　　A society youth writes ironically to the young lady in the case: Dear Miss Smith, perhaps you remember I proposed to you last night, and I do not now recall whether you said yes, or no.

　　Dear George, I remember I said‘no’ to someone last night, but I had forgotten who it was.

　　一个社交界的青年给一位年轻女士挖苦地写道：亲爱的史密斯小姐，您也许记得我昨晚向您求婚，但我现在记不起您到底是答应了还是没答应。

　　亲爱的乔治，我记得昨晚是对一个人说了‘不’，但忘了那人是谁。
