When a group of women got on the car, every seat was already occupied. The conductornoticed a man who seemed to be asleep, and fearing he might miss his stop, he nudgedhim and said: "Wake up, sir!"
当一群妇女上车之后,车上的座位全都被占满了。售票员注意到一名男子好象是睡着了,他担心这个人会坐过站,就用肘轻轻地碰了碰他,说:“先生,醒醒!”

"I wasn't asleep," the man answered.
我没有睡着。”那个男人回答。

"Not asleep? But you had your eyes closed."
“没睡着?可是你眼睛都闭上了呀?”
 
"I know. I just hate to look at ladies standing up beside me in a crowded car."
“我知道,我只是不愿意看到在拥挤的车上有女士站在我身边而已。”
