An Alarm Clock
A young man went to a mountain village for his holiday. One night he stayed at a small hotel near a train station.
Before going to bed, he went to the owner of the hotel and said to the old man, “ Excuse me, sir. Will you please wake me up at a quarter to five? I'm going to take the five o'clock train tomorrow morning. ”
“ Oh, sorry, ” the owner said, “ I am afraid I can't. I don't get up that early. ”
The young man started to go back to his room when he stopped and asked, “ Do you have an alarm clock? That would help me. ”
“ Yes, here it is, young man. ”
The young man took the clock happily and thanked the old man. But when he looked at it carefully, there appeared to be something wrong with it.
“ Does it ring on time? ” he asked the old man.
“ Sure! Just shake it when it's time to get up, and it'll ring. ”
一只鬧鐘
一個年輕人到一個山村去度假。那天夜里，他住宿在火車站附近的一個旅館里。
上床睡之前，他對旅館老板——一個老頭兒說：“對不起，先生，請問您能在五點差一刻叫醒我嗎？我明天早晨要乘五點的火車。”
“哦，很抱歉”，旅館老板說，“恐怕不行，我不可能起那么早。”
年輕人正想回到FANG間去，又停住了問：“那你有鬧鐘嗎？或許它能幫助我。”
“我有，給你，年輕人。”
年輕人很高興地拿了鬧鐘，謝了老頭兒。但當他仔細查看了鬧鐘后，發(fā)現(xiàn)似乎有毛病。
“它能準時鬧嗎？”他問老頭兒。
“那當然！時間一到，你搖一搖，他就會響的。”
