一般过去时的幽默英文小故事
英文小故事可以借鉴新概念英语 (英式英语,内容稍稍陈旧些) ,以下故事来自新概念第二册第92课,供参考.
It must have been about two in the morning when I returned home.I tried to wake up my wife by ringing the doorbell,but she was fast asleep,so I got a ladder from the shed in the garden,put it against the wall,and began climbing towards the bedroom window.I was almost there when a sarcastic voice below said,'I don't think the windows need cleaning at this time of the night.' I looked down and nearly fell off the ladder when I saw a policeman.I immediately regretted answering in the way I did,but I said,'I enjoy cleaning windows at night.'
\x09'So do I,' answered the policeman in the same tone.
\x09'Excuse my interrupting you.I hate to interrupt a man when he's busy working,but would you mind coming with me to the station?'
\x09'Well,I'd prefer to stay here,' I said.'You see.I've forgotten my key.'
\x09'Your what?' he called.
\x09'My key,' I shouted.
\x09Fortunately,the shouting woke up my wife who opened the window just as the policeman had started to climb towards me.
我回到家时,肯定已是凌晨两点左右了.我按响了门铃,试图唤醒我的妻子,但她睡得很熟.于是,我从花园的小棚里搬来了一个梯子,把它靠在墙边,开始向卧室的窗口爬去.快要爬到窗口时,下面一个人用讽刺的口吻说:“我看不必在夜里这个时候擦窗子吧.”我向下面看去.当我看清是一个警察时,差一点儿从梯子上掉下去.我回答了他的话,但马上又后悔不该那样说,我是这样说的:“我喜欢在夜里擦窗子.”
“我也是的,”警察用同样的声调回答,“请原谅我打断了您.当一个人在忙着干活时,我是不愿意去打断他的,但请您跟我到警察局去一趟好吗?”
“可我更愿意呆在这儿,”我说,“您瞧,我忘带钥匙了.”
“什么?”他大声问.
“钥匙!”我喊道.
幸运得很,这喊声惊醒了我的妻子.就在警察开始向我爬上来时,她打开了窗子.
