不用担心迟到
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and their children were going to begin their vacation one day, and they had to be at the airport at eleven-forty AM. “It'll take us half an hour to get there in the taxi,” Mr. Wilson said, “so we all have to be ready by eleven o'clock. Nobody should be late.”
At ten minutes to eleven they were still all running around doing things, except Mrs. Wilson, who was sitting quietly on a chair in the garden enjoying the sun.
Her husband and children were very surprised that she wasn't in a hurry too, until the taxi arrived and Mrs. Wilson said to them, “Well, I knew that this was going to be happen, so before I went to bed last night, I moved all our clocks and watches ahead twenty minutes. So now we can go to the airport quietly without worring about being late.”
一天,威尔逊夫妇和他们的孩子们准备去度假。他们必须在上午十一点四十分到达飞机场。威尔逊先生说,“坐出租车到那里要半个小时,所以我们大家必须在十一点钟前准备好。任何人都不能耽搁了。”
到了十一点差十分,大家都在跑来跑去,忙这忙那的,只有威尔逊夫人安静地坐在椅子上晒太阳。
她丈夫和孩子们都很奇怪,为什么她不象他们那样匆匆忙忙的。直到出租车来了,威尔逊太太才对他们说:“是这样的,我就知道会发生这种事,所以,昨晚睡觉前,我就把我们所有的时钟和手表都拨快了二十分钟。所以,现在我们可以悠哉地飞到机场去,而不用担心迟到了。”
