【生词】

When the Ambassador or Escalopia returned home for lunch, his wife got a shock. He looked pale and his clothes were in a frightful state.

当艾斯卡罗比亚的大使回家吃午饭时，他妻子大吃一惊。他面色苍白，衣服也破烂不堪。

‘What has happened?’she asked.‘How did your clothes get into such a mess?’

“出什么事了？”她问道，“你的衣服怎么弄得这么脏？”

‘A fire extinguisher, my dear,’answered the Ambassador drily.‘University students set the Embassy on fire this morning.’

“灭火器弄的，亲爱的，”大使冷冷地回答，“今天上午大学生们把大使馆给点着了。”

‘Good heavens!’exclaimed his wife.‘And where were you at the time?’

“天哪！”他妻子惊叫道，“当时你在哪儿？”

‘I was in my office as usual,’answered the Ambassador.‘The fire broke out in the basement. I went down immediately, of course, and that fool, Horst, aimed a fire extinguisher at me. He thought I was on fire. I must definitely get that fellow posted.’

“我像往常一样在办公室里，”大使回答道，“火是从地下室烧起来的。我当然立刻就下去了，但那个傻瓜霍斯特用灭火器对准了我。他以为我着火了。我一定要把那家伙调走。”

The Ambassador's wife went on asking questions, when she suddenly noticed a big hole in her husband's hat.

大使夫人还在不停地问问题，这时她突然发现丈夫的帽子上有个大洞。

‘And how can you explain that?’she asked.

“那这个你又怎么解释呢？”她问道。

‘Oh, that,’said the Ambassador.‘Someone fired a shot through my office window. Accurate, don't you think? Fortunately, I wasn't wearing it at the time. If I had been, I would not have been able to get home for lunch.’

“噢，那个呀，”大使说，“有人从我办公室的窗户朝我开了一枪。打得真准，你说是不是？幸好我当时没戴它。要是戴了，我就没法回家吃午饭了。”
