When a group of women got on the car, every seat was already occupied. The conductor noticed a man who seemed to be asleep, and fearing he might miss his stop, she nudged him and said: "Wake up, sir!"
當一群婦女上車，每個位置都佔滿了。車掌注意到一位男士似乎睡著了，害怕他可能錯過他要下車的站，她輕碰他並且說：「醒醒，先生！」
"I wasn't asleep," the man answered.
"Not asleep? But you had your eyes closed."
「我沒睡著」這位男士回答。
「沒睡著？但你的眼睛閉起來了。」
"I know. I just hate to look at ladies standing up beside me in a crowded bus."
「我知道。我只是討厭在擁擠的巴士上，看著站在我身旁的那些女士。」
