汤姆：哪儿更远-----纽约城还是月亮？
安迪：当然是纽约城。
汤姆：为什么这么说？
安迪：我可以看得见月亮，但我却看不见纽约城。

Tom: Which is farther away—New York City or the moon? 
Andy: New York City, of course. 
Tom: Why do you say that? 
Andy: I can see the moon, but I can’t see New York City.

 一位衣冠楚楚拎着手提箱的男士在纽约街头招呼出租车带他去仅有几个街区路程的时代广场。结果这段路走了很长的时间。当出租车第四次经过相同的建筑物时，乘客说，“嘿！你打得什么主意？这段路应该只要10分钟而不是两个小时。”

“对不起”，司机道歉说，“不过这可是你的错。你既然是纽约本地人，干嘛一身旅游者打扮到处走？”

A well-dressed man with a suitcase hailed a cab in New York City and asked to be taken to Times Square, which was only a few blocks away. The trip took a long time and after the cab passed the same buildings for the fourth time, the passenger said,“Hey! What’s the big idea? This trip should have taken ten minutes not two hours.” “Sorry,”apologized the cabby, “but it’s your own fault. Why do you go around dressed like a tourist when you’re really a native New Yorker?”
