Early Precaution
(Originally in Chinese)
There was an American couple who had no children, so they wanted to adopt a child. Finally, an orphanage contacted them, saying, "We have a baby for adoption. It's a Russian orphan." The couple was delighted and went to bring the baby home. On the way home, they stopped by a university to enroll in a Russian course. "Why do you want to learn Russian? The English that we speak is a very good language," the university secretary asked. "Well, we just adopted a Russian baby. When he begins to speak Russian in a few years, we are afraid that we might not be able to understand him," the couple replied.
未雨绸缪
有一对美国夫妇没有孩子,想领养个小孩。终于有一家
孤儿院通知他们说:「我们现在有一个婴儿可以让你们
收养,是个俄国孤儿。」他们很高兴,就去把婴儿抱回去。
在半路上,他们来到一所大学,想要报名学俄语,学校
里的秘书问:「你们为什么要学俄语呢?我们英语
是很好的语言啊!」这对美国夫妻说:「因为我们
刚刚领养了一个俄国婴儿,几年后等他开口讲
俄语时,到时候我们就听不懂了!」 【已有很多网友发表了看法,点击参与讨论】【对英语不懂,点击提问】【英语论坛】【返回首页】
