笑话原文】



A Complaint



Some people always have something to complain about. I stayed in a beautiful hotel right on the beach in California—an idyllic spot, you would think. But while I was waiting to check out, I heard the manager ask another guest, “Did you enjoy your stay?”



“Not really,” the man said grimly.



“I’m sorry to hear that,” the manager apologized. “What was the problem?”



“The surf was too loud.”



中文译文】



海滨宾馆



有些人总是有事情可以抱怨。我住在加州海滨一家漂亮的旅馆里。你会觉得这一定是一个恬静、愉快的地方。可是,当我等着办理退房手续的时候,听到经理问另一个旅客,“你在这里过得愉快吗?”



那人生气地说:“不怎么样。”



经理道歉说:“很抱歉,发生什么问题了?”



“海浪声太大了!”
