英語幽默小故事 A Talk on the Phone
I teach computer courses, and my students often call me at home with questions. One morning I was on the phone, explaining in computer language the solution to a problem, while a repairman was fixing my refrigerator. After an endless stream of "C colon, back- slash, greater than, cd, backslash, DOS, 0 colon" and so on, I hung up and found the repairman staring at me. "Lady," he asked, are you a spy?"

我教計算機課程，我的學生經常打電話到我家問我問題。一天早晨，我在電話裏用計算機語言解釋一個問題的答案，當時一個維修工正在給我修電冰箱。經過一連串的“C冒號，回車，大於號，CD，回車，DOS，C冒號”等等，我掛上電話發現那位維修工在盯着我。“女士，”他問，“你是個間諜嗎？”
