Mr Jones had a few days’ holiday, so he said, “I’m going to go to the mountains by train.” He put on his best clothes, took a small bag, went to the station and got on the train. He had a beautiful hat, and he often put his head out of the window during the trip and looked at the mountains. But the wind pulled his hat off.
琼斯先生有几天的假期,因此他说:“我打算坐火车到山里去。”他穿上最好的衣服,带上一个小包,去火车站上了火车。他戴着一顶漂亮的礼帽,旅途期间,他经常把头伸到窗外去看山。但是风把他的帽子吹掉了。
Mr Jones quickly took his old bag and threw that out of the window too.
琼斯先生马上把他的旧包拿出来,把它也扔到了窗外去。
The other people in the carriage laughed. “Is your bag going to bring your beautiful hat back?” they asked.
车厢中的其他人大笑起来。“你的包会把你那漂亮的帽子带回来吗?”他们问道。
“No,” Mr Jones answered, “but there’s no name and no address in my hat, and there’s a name and address on the bag. Someone’s going to find both of them near each other, and he’s going to send me the bag and the hat.”
“不会,”琼斯先生回答,“但是我的帽子上没有名字和地址,而包上有名字和地址。有人会发现它们两个靠得很近,他会把我的包和礼帽寄给我的。”
