Unit 1 Have A Drink
第01單元 喝一杯
A man is sitting at the bar. He looks sad as he stares into his glass. He has been looking at his drink for a long time, when a big burly man walks up behind him and says:
有個男子坐在酒吧里，盯著自己的酒杯，一副傷心模樣。他望著自己酒杯好一陣子，有個魁梧的家伙走到他的身后說：
“Well, if you don’t drink it, I will.” And with that he finishes the man’s drink in one gulp.
“既然你不喝，就給我喝好了。”他說完就把男子的酒一飲而盡了。
The man at the bar starts to cry. The bigger man says, “Hey, I’ll buy you another drink. Don’t worry.”
酒吧這名男子哭了起來，大塊頭說：“嘿，我再請你喝一杯就是了，不需要這樣嘛。”
“No, it’s not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I ’m late to my office. My boss fires me.”
“不是啦，事情不是這樣的。今天是我一生中最倒霉的一天，一開始是睡過頭上班遲到，結果被老板炒魷魚。”
“When I leave the building to go to my car. I found out it was stolen. I get a cab to return home. I leave home and come to this bar. And when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison.”
“等我離開辦公大樓去開車時，發現車被偷了，警察卻說他們無能為力，我只好打的回家。我離開家來到這間酒吧，正想著要不要結束生命時，你卻突然出現把我的毒酒給喝了。”
