Chaude and Cold
熱與冷

A patron in Montreal cafe turned on a tap in the washroom and got scalded.
蒙特利爾自助餐廳的一位顧客擰開盥洗室的龍頭，結(jié)果被水燙傷了。

"This is an outrage," he complained. "The faucet marked C gave me boiling water."
“這太可惡了，”他抱怨道，“標(biāo)著C的龍頭流出的是開水。”

"But, Monsieur, C stands for chaude - French for hot. You should know that if you live in Montreal."
“可是，先生，C代表Chaude－法語里代表‘熱’。如果您居住在蒙特利爾的話就得知道這一點(diǎn)。”

"Wait a minute," roared the patron. "The other tap is also marked C."
“等等，”那位顧客咆哮一聲，“另外一個(gè)龍頭同樣標(biāo)的是C。”

"Of course," said the manager, "It stands for cold. After all, Montreal is a bilingual city."
“當(dāng)然，”經(jīng)理說道：“它代表冷。畢竟，蒙特利爾是個(gè)雙語城市。”
