迈克尔和德雷克是好朋友，但有时候他们喜欢捉弄对方。假期中的一天，他们决定一块儿去伦敦。他们到车站买好了车票。火车进站后，迈克尔先上了车。他走进车厢时，不小心将自己的车票掉在了月台上。德雷克紧跟着他,看到车票掉了就赶快捡了起来，但他没告诉朋友，而是不动声色地将票装进了自己的口袋。 上车不久，他们听到查票员沿着车厢过道在查票：“请出示车票！”迈克尔四处翻找，当然找不到他的票。 “天哪，我的车票找不着了，德雷克。”他说道。 "再找一遍,迈克尔，一定在什么地方。”德雷克说。 “不，没有，我哪都找遍了，我该怎么办呢？ "你最好藏在座位下面，那样查票员就不会知道你在这儿了。” 于是，迈克尔就尽量匍匐在座位下面，一动也不敢动。门很快打开了，查票员走了进来。"请把票拿出来。”他说道。 德雷克递给他两张票,说道:“这张是我的，另一张是我朋友的,他更喜欢呆在座位下面旅行。" An Episode in the Train Michael and Derek are good friends, but they like to pull each other’s legs sometimes. One day during the holidays they decided to go to London together. They went to the station and bought their tickets. When the train came in, Michael boarded it first and, without knowing it, dropped his ticket on the platform as he got into the carriage. Derek, who was close behind, saw the ticket fall and quickly picked it up. Without a word to his friend, he put it in his pocket. After they had been in the train a little while, they heard the ticket inspector coming down the corridor, shouting, “Ticket, please!” Michael looked for his and of course couldn’t find it. “Oh dear, I can't find my ticket, Derek,” he said. “Have another look, Michael； it must be somewhere，，，said Derek. “No, I can’t find it anywhere. Whatever shall I do?” “Perhaps you had better hide under the seat； then the inspector won't know you are here. So Michael crawled under the seat as far as he could and lay perfectly still. Presently the door opened, and in came the inspector. “Tickets, please,” he said. Derek handed him two tickets, and said, “This is mine. The other belongs to my friend, who prefers to travel under the seat. ” |
