My Roommate
My roommate was interested in a young man in her English-literature class, but she was too shy to let him know. One day she overheard him say he was on his way to the library for a certain book. She rushed to the library, found the book and stuck in it a letter from her mother.
"Why would he want to read a letter from your mother?" I asked.
"He wouldn't, but if he's any kind of gentleman, he'll return it to me " Her dorm and room numbers were on the envelope, of course.
The next day he appeared with the letter and asked my roommate out on a date. "Couldn't fail," she later told me. "The book was Great Expectations.

我的室友
我的室友對她英國文學課上的一個年輕人有意思，但又不好意思讓他知道。一天，她聽到他和別人說要去圖書館借某本書。她沖到圖書館，找到那本書，夾進去她媽媽來的一封信。
“他為什么會要讀你媽媽來的信呢？”我問。
“他不會讀的。但如果他還算是個紳士的話，他會把信還給我的。”當然啦，她的宿舍及房間號碼就在信封上。
第二天，他拿著那封信出現了，并約我室友出去。“錯不了的，”她后來對我說，“那本書的書名是《遠大前程》。”
