今天早上还没有呢ItWasn’tThereThisMorning.docxVIP

A boastful American from Texas was being shown the sights of London by a taxi-driver.一个从美国得克萨斯州来的人，特别喜欢吹牛。这天，他在出租车司机的帮助下观光伦敦。“What’s that building there?” asked the Taxan.“这是什么建筑物？”得克萨斯人问。“That’s the Tower of London, sir,” replied the taxi-diver.“先生，那是伦敦塔。”出租司机回答。“Say, we can put up buildings like that in two weeks,” drawled the Texan.“唉，在美国，我们两星期之内就可以建起一座这样的建筑物。”得克萨斯人故意拉长了腔调。A little while later he said, “And what’s that building we’re passing now?”走了一会儿，他又问：“我们刚才经过的建筑物叫什么名字？”“That’s Buckingham Palace, sir, where the Queen lives.”“先生，那是白金汉宫，是女王住的地方。”“Is that so?” said the Texan. “Do you know back in Texas we could put up a palace like that in a week.”“是吗？”得克萨斯人说，“你知道吗？在得克萨斯，像这样的宫殿只要一个星期就可以建成。”A few minutes later they were passing Westminster Abbey. The American again asked, “Hey, cabby, what’s that building over there?”几分钟后，他们又从威斯敏斯特大教堂经过。这位美国人又问：“嘿，司机，那边是什么楼？”“I’m afraid I don’t know, sir,” replied the taxi-driver. “It wasn’t there this morning!”“先生，我也不知道，”司机说, “今天早晨还没有呢！”更多英语学习方法：企业英语培训/
