973　They're looking for the elevator 他们是在找电梯

As a concierge at a posh resort, I was often asked about the ski facilities. One day a couple, who had just checked in after a long flight, came by and asked me where the lift was. “Go down this hall,” I told them, “out the door, past the pool, 200 yards down the block and you'll see it on your right.” Their tired faces suddenly looked even more exhausted, until the man behind them spoke up. “They're from England,” he said. “I think they're looking for the elevator.”

我是豪华度假村的看门人，经常有人来问我关于滑雪设施的问题。有一天，有一对经过长途飞行刚住进度假村的夫妇问我升降机在哪里。我告诉他们：“沿这走廊往前，出那个门，经过游泳池，再往前走二百码，就看见升降机在你们的右手边了。”他们疲倦的脸上突然看上去更加筋疲力尽了。这时候，他们后面有人说话：“他们是从英国来的。我想他们是在找电梯。”
