笑話原文】
To be on the Safe Side
In a cinema, during a performance, one of the audiences gets up, making his way along the row of seats and going out into the foyer.
A few minutes later he returns and asks the man sitting at the head of the row.
"Excuse me, was it your foot I stepped on when I was going out a moment ago?"
"Yes, but it doesn't really matter. It didn't hurt at all."
"Oh, no, it isn't that. I only want to make sure that this is my row."
中文譯文】
保證沒走錯(cuò)
在一家電影院里，一名觀眾在演出期間站了起來，沿著他那排位子走到休息室去了。
幾分鐘后，他回到那排位子并問坐在首位的那位男士道：
“對(duì)不起，請(qǐng)問我剛才出去的時(shí)候是踩著你的腳嗎?”
“是的，不過沒什么關(guān)系，一點(diǎn)也不疼。”
“噢，不，我不是這個(gè)意思。我只是想確認(rèn)一下這是不是我的那排位子。”
