It was half pass three. The doctor just lay down to have a nap when he heard a loud knock on the door. He got up and asked the man at the door: "What is it?"

 

"I've been bitten by a dog," said the man painfully.

 

"Well, don't you know that my hours of consultation¹ are between twelve and three?" said the doctor unpleasantly.

 

"I know," groaned² the man, "but that confounded（困惑的） dog didn't know, It bit me at twenty past three."

 

下午三点半钟时，医生刚刚躺下想小睡一会儿，就听到有人大声敲门。他起身问门口的人：“什么事呀？”

 

门口那个人痛苦地说：“我被狗咬了。”

 

医生很不高兴地说：“哦，你不知道我诊病的时间是12点到3点吗？”

 

那个人呻吟着说：“我知道，可是那只该死的狗不知道。它在3点20分咬了我。”
