不用擔心遲到
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their children were going to begin their vacation one day, and they had to be at the airport at eleven-forty AM. “It'll take us half an hour to get there in the taxi,” Mr. Wilson said, “so we all have to be ready by eleven o'clock. Nobody should be late.”
At ten minutes to eleven they were still all running around doing things, except Mrs. Wilson, who was sitting quietly on a chair in the garden enjoying the sun.
Her husband and children were very surprised that she wasn't in a hurry too, until the taxi arrived and Mrs. Wilson said to them, “Well, I knew that this was going to be happen, so before I went to bed last night, I moved all our clocks and watches ahead twenty minutes. So now we can go to the airport quietly without worring about being late.”
一天,威爾遜夫婦和他們的孩子們準備去度假。他們必須在上午十一點四十分到達飛機場。威爾遜先生說,“坐出租車到那里要半個小時,所以我們大家必須在十一點鐘前準備好。任何人都不能耽擱了。”
到了十一點差十分,大家都在跑來跑去,忙這忙那的,只有威爾遜夫人安靜地坐在椅子上曬太陽。
她丈夫和孩子們都很奇怪,為什么她不象他們那樣匆匆忙忙的。直到出租車來了,威爾遜太太才對他們說:“是這樣的,我就知道會發生這種事,所以,昨晚睡覺前,我就把我們所有的時鐘和手表都撥快了二十分鐘。所以,現在我們可以悠哉地飛到機場去,而不用擔心遲到了。”
