原文如下：
I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me.
我终于到了伦敦。火车站很大，又黑又暗。我不知道去饭店的路该怎么走，于是向一个搬运工打听。我的英语讲得不但非常认真，而且咬字也非常清楚。然而搬运工却不明白我的话。我把问话重复了很多遍。他终于听懂了。
I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that!
他回答了，但他讲得既不慢也不清楚。“我是个外国人，”我说。于是他说得慢了，可我还是听不懂。我的老师从来不那样讲英语！我和搬运工相视一笑。接着，他说了点什么，这回我听懂了。“您会很快学会英语的！”他说。
The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?
我感到奇怪。在英国，人们各自说着一种不同的语言。英国人之间相互听得懂，可我却不懂他们的话！他们说的是英语吗？

I often fish for hours without catching anything. But thisdoes notworry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch oldboots andrubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old boots.Afterhavingspent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'Youmustgive upfishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize oneimportantthing. I'mnot really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat anddoingnothing atall!21 Mad ornot?是不是疯了Aeroplanesare slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can beheardnight and day. The airport was built years ago, but for some reason it couldnot beused then.Last year, however, it came into use. Over a hundred people must have beendrivenaway from their homes by the noise. I am one of the few people left. SometimesIthink thishouse will be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large sumof moneyto go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad andthey areprobably right.22 A glass envelope 玻璃信封Mydaughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own ageinHolland.

Sheneverthought ofit again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Bothgirlswrite to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the postoffice.Letterswill cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.23 A new house 新居I had aletter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she saidthatshe wouldcome to Englandnext year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. We are nowliving ina beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sisterleft.The housewas completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could staywithus. Thehouse has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modernhouse, soit looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in thedistrict.24 Ifcould be worse 不幸中之万幸I enteredthe hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost $50 and I felt veryupset. 'Ileft the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager wassympathetic,but he could do nothing.
