An Alarm Clock

A young man went to a mountain village for his holiday. One night he stayed at a small hotel near a train station.

Before going to bed, he went to the owner of the hotel and said to the old man, “Excuse me, sir. Will you please wake me up at a quarter to five? Im going to take the five oclock train tomorrow morning.”

“Oh, sorry,” the owner said, “I am afraid I cant. I dont get up that early.”

The young man started to go back to his room when he stopped and asked, “Do you have an alarm clock? That would help me.”

“Yes, here it is, young man.”

The young man took the clock happily and thanked the old man. But when he looked at it carefully, there appeared to be something wrong with it. “Does it ring on time?” he asked the old man.

“Sure! Just shake it when its time to get up, and itll ring.”

一只鬧鐘

一個(gè)年輕人到一個(gè)山村去度假。那天夜里，他住宿在火車(chē)站附近的一個(gè)旅館里。

上床睡覺(jué)之前，他對(duì)旅館老板——一個(gè)老頭兒說(shuō)：“對(duì)不起，先生，請(qǐng)問(wèn)您能在五點(diǎn)差一刻叫醒我嗎？我明天早晨要乘五點(diǎn)的火車(chē)?！?

“哦，很抱歉”，旅館老板說(shuō)，“恐怕不行，我不可能起那么早?！?

年輕人正想回到房間去，又停住了問(wèn)：“那你有鬧鐘嗎？或許它能幫助我?！?

“我有，給你，年輕人。”

年輕人很高興地拿了鬧鐘，謝了老頭兒。但當(dāng)他仔細(xì)查看了鬧鐘后，發(fā)現(xiàn)似乎有毛病。 “它能準(zhǔn)時(shí)鬧嗎？”他問(wèn)老頭兒。

“那當(dāng)然！時(shí)間一到，你搖一搖，他就會(huì)響的?！?/p>
