Story: Mr. Robinson in the Morning Mr. Robinson worked in an office. Every morning he had breakfast with his wife at half past seven, read his newspaper, drank a cup of coffee and then left his house at 8 o'clock to go to catch his train to town. One morning he was still sitting comfortably at the breakfast table and reading his newspaper at five minutes past eight. He did not seem to be in a hurry and asked his wife for another cup of coffee. “Another cup?” she asked. “But aren’t you going to the office today? Have you got a holiday?” “The office?" he said and looked up from his newspaper very surprised. “I thought that I was at the office!” 罗宾逊先生在办公室工作。每天早上,他和妻子在七点半吃早餐,看报纸,喝一杯咖啡,然后八点离开家去赶去城里的火车。 一天早晨,八点过五分,他还舒舒服服地坐在早餐桌旁看报纸。他似乎并不着急,又向妻子要了一杯咖啡。 “再来一杯?她问。“但是你今天不去办公室吗? 你休假吗?” “办公室?”他说着,惊讶地从报纸上抬起头来。“我还以为我在办公室呢!”
