Where Am I? | 我这是在哪儿?

English Original

Nat lived in a small town in England. He always spent his holidays there, but last year he thought, "I've never been abroad. All my friends go to Spain and love it, so this year I'm going too."

First, he went to Madrid and stayed in a small hotel for a few days. On his first morning, he went out for a walk. In England, people drive on the left, but in Spain they drive on the right. Nat forgot this, and while crossing a busy street, a bicycle knocked him down.

He lay on the ground for a few seconds, then sat up and said, "Where am I?" An old man selling maps at the side of the street immediately came over and asked, "Map of the city, sir?"


中文翻译

纳特住在英格兰的一个小镇上。他的假期总是在那里度过,但去年他想:“我从未出过国。我所有的朋友都去西班牙,而且很喜欢那里,所以今年我也要去。”

他先去了马德里,在一家小旅馆住了几天。到达后的第一个早晨,他出去散步。在英国,人们靠左行驶,但在西班牙是靠右行驶。纳特忘了这一点,在穿过一条繁忙的街道时,被一辆自行车撞倒了。

他在地上躺了几秒钟,然后坐起来问道:“我这是在哪儿?”一位在街边卖地图的老人立刻走过来问道:“先生,要买城市地图吗?”
