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

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。

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！
