When the Ambassador or Escalopia returned home for lunch, his wife got a shock. He looked pale and his clothes were in a frightful state.What has happened? she asked.

And where were you at the time?I was in my office as usual, answered the Ambassador. The fire broke out in the basement. I went down immediately, of course, and that fool, Horst, aimed a fire extinguisher at me. He thought I was on fire. I must definitely get that fellow posted.The Ambassadors wife went on asking questions, when she suddenly noticed a big hole in her husbands hat.And how can you explain that? she asked.Oh, that, said the Ambassador. Someone fired a shot through my office window. Accurate, dont you think? Fortunately, I wasnt wearing it at the time. If I had been, I would not have been able to get home for lunch. 本文参考译文 当艾斯卡罗比亚国的大使回到家吃午饭时，把他的夫人吓了一跳。他面色苍白，衣服也搞得不成样子。“发生了什么事？”她问，“你的衣服怎么搞得一塌糊涂？”“灭火器弄的，亲爱的，”大使冷冷地回答，“今天上午大学生们放火点着了大使馆。”“天啊！”他的夫人惊叫，“那你当时在什么地方？”“我和往常一样，在办公室里，”大使回答说。“地下室突然着火，我当然马上下去了。但那个傻瓜霍斯特把灭火器对准了我。他认为是我着火了。我一定要把那个家伙打发走。”大使夫人继续提出问题，她突然又发现丈夫的帽子上有个洞。“那么你对那又作何解释呢？”她问。“那个嘛，”大使说，“有人向我办公室窗户开了一枪。真够准的，是不是？幸亏我当时没戴帽子。如果真戴着它，我现在就不能回家来吃午饭了。” New words and expressions 生词与短语 ★fantasy [f?nt?s?; -z?] n. 幻想故事 a pleasant situation that you imagine but that is unlikely to happen 幻想 his childhood fantasies about becoming a famous football player Stop living in a fantasy world. sexual fantasy性幻想 2、a product of your imagination 幻想故事；幻觉 Her books are usually escapist fantasies.
