The train was quite crowded, and the U. S. Marine1 walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well-dressed middle-aged2 French woman's poodle. The war-weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?" The French woman just sniffed3 and said to no one in particular, "Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat." The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under that dog. "Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired." She snorted, "Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant4." This time the Marine didn't say a word, he just picked up the little dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down. The woman shrieked5, "Someone must defend my honor. Put this American in his place." An English gentleman sitting nearby spoke6 up, "Sir, you Americans often seem to have a penchant7 for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you've thrown the wrong bitch out the window." 点击收听单词发音
