英語短笑話:Englishman 一個英國人

Once, late at night, an Englishman came out of his room into the corridor（走廊） of a hotel and asked the servant to bring him a glass of water. The servant did as he was asked. The Englishman re-entered his room, but a few minutes later he came into the corridor again and once more asked the servant for a glass of water. The servant brought him another glass of water. Every few minutes the Englishmen would come out of his room and repeat his request. After a half-hour the astonished servant decided to ask the Englishman what he was doing with the water. Nothing, the Englishman answered imperturbably（平靜地） , It’s simply that my room is on fire.一天晚上，一個英國人從他住的旅店房間裏走出來。來到走廊上，叫旅店的服務員給他拿一杯水來。服務員按他的要求做了。英國人回到了他的房間裏，幾分鐘後他又來到走廊上，讓服務員再給他送一杯水。服務員又給他送了一杯水。每隔幾分鐘。英國人就走出房間重複他的要求。 半小時之後．這位感到驚訝的服務員決定問問房客要這些水乾什麼，英國人不謊不忙地回答：沒什麼．只不過是我的房間裏起火了。
