As a concierge at a posh resort, I was often asked about the ski facilities. One day a couple, who had just checked in after a long flight, came by and asked me where the lift was. “Go down this hall,” I told them, “out the door, past the pool, 200 yards down the block and you'll see it on your right.” Their tired faces suddenly looked even more exhausted, until the man behind them spoke up. “They're from England,” he said. “I think they're looking for the elevator.”
我是豪華度假村的看門人,經(jīng)常有人來問我關(guān)于滑雪設(shè)施的問題。有一天,有一對經(jīng)過長途飛行剛住進(jìn)度假村的夫婦問我升降機(jī)在哪里。我告訴他們:“沿這走廊往前,出那個門,經(jīng)過游泳池,再往前走二百碼,就看見升降機(jī)在你們的右手邊了?!彼麄兤>氲哪樕贤蝗豢瓷先ジ咏钇AΡM了。這時候,他們后面有人說話:“他們是從英國來的。我想他們是在找電梯。”
