幽默笑话精粹68：热与冷

A patron in a Montreal cafe turned on a tap in the washroom and got scalded. "'This is an outrage，”he complained. "The faucet marked C gave me boiling water.”

在蒙特利尔的一家餐厅里，一位顾客拧开了盟洗室的水龙头，结果被水烫伤了。“这太可恶了，”他抱怨道，“标着c的水龙头流出来的是开水。”

"But, Monsieur, C: stand for chaude一French for hot. You should know that if you live in Montreal.”

“可是，先生，C代表chaude—法语‘热’的意思。如果您居住在蒙特利尔就得知道这一点。”

"Wait a minute,”roared the patron，"The other tap is also marked C.”

“等等，”那位顾客咆哮一声，“另外一个水龙头同样标的是C。”

"Of course,” said the manager, "it stands for cold. After all, Montreal is a bilingual city.”

“当然，”经理说道:“这代表冷。毕竟，蒙特利尔是个双语城市。”
