Joe and Fred were helping to build a house in a village. The weather was very warm, there was a lot of dust everywhere, and by half past twelve, they were very thirsty, so they stopped work to have their lunch. They found the nearest small bar, went in and sat down with their sandwiches.
乔和弗雷德在一个村子里帮忙建房子。天气非常温暖，到处都有许多尘土，到12点半的时候，他们都非常口渴，于是他们停下活儿去吃午饭。他们找到了最近的小酒吧，带着他们的三明治进去坐下。
“Good afternoon, gentlemen. What can I get you?” the man behind the bar asked.
“下午好，两位先生。你们要点什么？”吧台后面那个人问道。
Joe looked at Fred and said, “Beer, I think. Yes, a pint of beer each. Is that all right for you, Fred?”
乔看了看弗雷德说：“啤酒吧，我想。对，每人一品脱啤酒。你那样行吗，弗雷德？”
“Yes, that’s all right, “ Fred said. Then he turned to the man behind the bar and said, “And I want it in a clean glass! Don’t forget that.”
“是的，可以，”弗雷德说。然后他转向吧台后面的那个人说：“我要用一只干净的杯子装着！别忘了啊。”
The man behind the bar filled the glasses and brought them to Joe and Fred. Then he said, “Which of you asked for the clean glass?”
吧台后面那个人倒满了杯子，然后把它们带到乔和弗雷德跟前。然后他说：“你们哪位要干净杯子来着？”
