你是怎样来的?
One winter morning, an employee explained why he had shown up for work 45 minutes late. "It was so slippery out that for every step I took ahead, I slipped back two."
一个冬天的早晨,一名雇员解释他为什么迟到了四十五分钟才起来上班。“外面太滑了,我每向前迈一步,就要向后退两步。”
The boss eyed him suspiciously. "Oh, yeah? Then how did you ever get here?"
老板狐疑地看着他。“噢,是吗?那你是怎样到这里来的?”
"I finally gave up," he said, "and started for home."
“后来我决定放弃,”他说,“然后我就往家里走。”
