To be on the Safe
Side1
In a cinema during2 a performance3 one of the audience4 gets up, makes his way along5 the row of seats6 and goes out into the foyer. A few7 minutes later8 he returns9 and asks the man sitting at the head of the row:
"Excuse me, was10 it your foot I stepped11 on when I was going12 out a moment ago?"
" Yes, but it doesn't really matter. It didn't hurt at all."
"Oh, no, it isn't that. I only want to make sure that this is my row."
保证没走错
在一家电影院里,一名观众在演出期间站了起来,沿着他那排位子走到休息室去了。几分钟后,他回到那排位子并问坐在首位的那位男士道:
“对不起,请问我刚才出去的时候是踩着你的脚吗?”
“是的,不过没什么关系,一点也不疼。”
“噢,不,我不是这个意思。我只是想确认一下这是不是我的那排位子。”
