English Original
A friend of mine was teaching English to a class of adults who had recently moved to the United States.
After placing several everyday objects on a table, he asked various students to hand him the ruler, the book, the pen, and so on. The lesson proceeded smoothly, and the students seemed engaged and serious about the task—until my friend turned to an Italian student and said, "Give me the keys."
The man looked surprised and somewhat confused. Thinking the student hadn't heard him clearly, my friend repeated, "Give me the keys." The Italian shrugged his shoulders. Then, he threw his arms around the teacher's neck and kissed him on both cheeks.

我的一位朋友在给一个成人班级上英语课，学生们都是新近移居美国的。
他在桌上摆放了几件日常物品后，便请不同的学生把尺子、书本、钢笔等递给他。课程进展顺利，学生们似乎对这项任务很投入、也很认真——直到我的朋友转向一名意大利学生说：“把钥匙给我。”
那人显得很惊讶，也有些困惑。我的朋友以为他没听清，便重复道：“把钥匙给我。”这位意大利学生耸了耸肩。接着，他伸出双臂搂住老师的脖子，在他的双颊上各亲了一下。
