During the recent blackout in New York City, my phone at the ferry company kept ringing. One caller asked if the ferry was running. “Yes,” I answered. “How? There's been a power failure in New York!” said the caller. “Don't worry,” said I. “Our ferry's plugged into the New Jersey side!”
在最近的纽约大停电中,我在渡轮公司的电话响个不停。一个人问渡轮开不开。我说照开。他说:“怎么会?纽约停电了。”我说:“别担心,我们的渡轮把插头插在新泽西那边。”
