I walk to work at the police station.

"Surprise!" Mr.F shouts from behind me.
“驚喜!”F先生從我背后喊了一聲。
"Which do you like more, surprises or birthdays?" He laughs.
“你比較喜歡哪一個,驚喜還是生日?”
I don't like either. He knows that.
他笑著說。他明明知道,兩者我都不喜歡。
Mr. F is my partner at the station.

He often tries to surprise me.
他經常想要讓我吃驚,
I guess today isn't any different.
