Lesson 14 Do you speak English?I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, "Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!'参考译文去年我有过一次有趣的经历。
在离开法国南部的一个小村庄后，我继续驶往下一个城镇。
途中，一个青年人向我招手。
我把车停下，他向我提出要求搭车。
他一上车，我就用法语向他问早上好，他也同样用法语回答我。
除了个别几个单词外，我根本不会法语。
旅途中我们谁也没讲话。
就要到达那个镇时，那青年突然开了口，慢慢地说道：“你会讲英语吗？”我很快了解到，他自己就是个英国人！【New words and expressions】生词和短语★amusing adj. 好笑的，有趣的amused:感到好笑的amuse v.动词后面会加人做宾语The story amused me.The story is amusing.I am amused.interesting:有意思The book is interesting.The book is amusing.funny:好笑的，可以指贬义，开心的，令人开心的interesting/funny story★experience n. 经历经验、体验：不可数名词经历、感受：可数名词He has a lot of experience.
