Job Technique

　　Vacationing on the island of Oahu, we were waiting in our tour bus for some stragglers to show up. A man, obviously not with our group, approached the bus and was about to board. How would our driver handle the situation, we wondered. Straight-faced, he leaned toward the door and asked, "Going to the nudist Colony, sir?"

　　"Oh, no," replied the would-be passenger, retreating quickly.

　　"Works every time," the driver said with a wink.

　　Notes:

　　（1） Oahu n.瓦胡（岛）
　　（2） straggler n.落伍者；掉队者
　　（3） show up显现
　　（4） approach v.走近；接近
　　（5） be about to（do）（表计划）即将做
　　（6） board v.上（船、火车、飞机、公共汽车等）
　　（7） straight-faced adj.板起面孔的
　　（8） nudist Colony天体营（裸体主义者实行其信条的场所）
