我碰到一件趣事(A Funny Thing Happened to Me)

　　a funny thing happened to me last friday. i'd gone to london to do some shopping. i wanted to get some christmas presents, and i needed to find some books for my course at school (you see, i'm a student). i caught an early train to london so by early afternoon i'd bought everything that i wanted. anyway, i'm not very fond of london, all the noise and traffic, and i'd made some arrangements for that evening. so, i took a taxi to waterloo station. i can't really afford taxis, but i wanted to get the 3:30 train. unfortunately the taxi got stuck in a traffic jam, and by the time i got to waterloo, the train had just gone. i had to wait an hour for the next one. i bought an evening newspaper the 'standard', and wandered over to the station buffet. at that time of day it's nearly empty, so i bought a coffee and a packet of biscuits--chocolate biscuits. i'm yew fond of chocolate biscuits. there were plenty of empty tables and i found one near the window. i sat down and began doing the crossword. enjoy doing crossword puzzles.

　　after a couple of minutes a man sat down opposite me. there was nothing special about him, except that he was very tall. in fact he looked like a typical city businessman--you know, dark suit and briefcase. i didn't say anything and i carried on with my crossword. suddenly he reached across the table, opened my packet of biscuits, took one, dipped it into his coffee and popped it into his mouth, i couldn't believe my eyes! i was too shocked to say any thing. anyway, i didn't want to make a fuss, so i decided to ignore it. i always avoid trouble if i can. i just took a biscuit myself and went back to my crossword.

　　when the man took a second biscuit, i didn't look up and i didn't make a sound. i pretended to be very interested in the puzzle. after a couple of minutes, i casually put out my hand, took the last biscuit and glanced at the man. he was staring at me furiously. i nervously put the biscuit in my mouth, and decided to leave. i was ready to get up and go when the man suddenly pushed back his chair, stood up and hurried out of the buffet. i felt very re. lieved and decided to wait two or three minutes before going myself. i finished my coffee, folded my newspaper and stood up. and there, on the table, where my newspaper had been, was my packet of biscuits.

　　上周五我碰到了一桩有趣的事。我去伦敦购物，想买些圣诞礼物，还想找些学校教程(你知道，我是名学生)。我赶了早班车去伦敦，这样刚到下午我就已经买好了想买的一切。不管怎样，我不喜欢伦敦，喧闹且交通拥挤，而且那天晚上，我已经有了安排。于是我搭出租车去了滑铁卢车站。其实我是搭不起出租车的，可我想赶上3：30的火车。不幸的是，出租车遇到了交通阻塞，等我到滑铁卢的时候，火车刚好离开。无奈，我只好等一个小时乘下一趟。我买了一份晚报《标准报》，然后逛到了车站

　　的餐厅。那时候餐厅几乎空无一人，于是我买了一杯咖啡、一包饼干——巧克力饼干。我非常喜欢巧克力饼干。那里有好多空桌子，我挑了一张靠窗的。坐下后我开始做字谜游戏。我一直很喜欢玩字谜游戏。

　　几分钟后一个男人坐在我的对面。他除了个子高没什么特别的。事实上，他看上去像个典型的城市商人——你知道，黑色套装和公文包，我没说什么，继续做我的字谜游戏。突然他把手伸到桌上，打开了我那包饼干，拿出一块，蘸了蘸他的咖啡，很快塞进嘴里。我简直不能相信自己的眼睛!我震惊得一句话也说不出来。不管怎么说，我不想小题大做，所以我决定只当没看见算了。能不惹麻烦，我尽量不惹麻烦，我只是拿了一块饼干，又回到我的字谜游上。
