049 I Am Acting like a Lady 我要表现得像位女士

外国人讲：

One day when women’s dresses were on sale at the Far East Department Store，a dignified middle-aged man decided to get his wife a piece. But he soon found himself being battered by frantic women.

He stood it as long as he could；then，with head lowered and armsflailing，he plowed through the crowed.

“You there！”challenged a thrill voice.“Can’t you act like a gentleman？”

“Listen，”he said，“I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour.From now on，I am acting like a lady.”

1dress[dres]n.女装

2dignified[＇dΙɡnΙfaΙd]adj.高贵的，气派的

中国人讲：

一天，远东百货公司的女装大减价，一位高贵的中年男士想给太太买一件。可是，没过多久，他发现自己已被疯狂的女人冲得踉踉跄跄。

他竭力忍耐着。后来，他低下头，挥动双臂，挤过人群。

“你干吗？”有人尖声叫道，“你难道不能表现得像一位绅士吗？”

“听着，”他说，“我已经像绅士一样表现了一个小时了。从现在起，我要表现得像个女士。”
