　　2、英語幽默故事：Very Pleased to Meet You

　　During World War II, a lot of young women in Britain were in the army. Joan Phillips was one of them. She worked in a big camp, and of course met a lot of men, officers and soldiers.

　　One evening she met Captain Humphreys at a dance. He said to her, I‘m going abroad tomorrow, but I‘d be very happy if we could write to each other. Joan agreed, and they wrote for several months.

　　Then his letters stopped, but she received one from another officer, telling her that he had been wounded and was in a certain army hospital in England.

　　Joan went there and said to the matron, I‘ve come to visit Captain Humphreys.

　　Only relatives are allowed to visit patients here, the matron said.

　　Oh, that‘s all right, answered Joan. I‘m his sister.

　　I‘m very pleased to meet you, the matron said, I‘m his mother!

　　幽默故事翻譯：

　　在第二次世界大戰中，有許多年輕的婦女在軍營中服役。瓊.飛利浦斯是其中之一。她在一個大軍營中工作，當然遇到了許多男士，包括軍官和士兵。

　　一天晚上她在舞會上遇到了軍官漢弗雷斯。他對她說，“我明天就要出國，但如果我們能夠相互寫信，我會很高興。”瓊同意了，于是他們幾個月裡一直通着信。

　　後來，他再沒有來信。她收到了另一個軍官的信，告訴她，他受傷了，住在英格蘭的某個部隊醫院裡。

　　瓊到了醫院，她對護士長說，“我來看望軍官漢弗雷斯。”

　　“這裡隻有親屬可以探望病人。”護士長說。

　　“噢，是的，”瓊說，“我是他的妹妹。”

　　“很高興認識你，”護士長說，“我是他的母親。”
