My Roommate
My roommate was interested in a young man in her English-literature class, but she was too shy to let him know. One day she overheard him say he was on his way to the library for a certain book. She rushed to the library, found the book and stuck in it a letter from her mother.
"Why would he want to read a letter from your mother?" I asked.
"He wouldn't, but if he's any kind of gentleman, he'll return it to me " Her dorm and room numbers were on the envelope, of course.
The next day he appeared with the letter and asked my roommate out on a date. "Couldn't fail," she later told me. "The book was Great Expectations.

我的室友
我的室友对她英国文学课上的一个年轻人有意思，但又不好意思让他知道。一天，她听到他和别人说要去图书馆借某本书。她冲到图书馆，找到那本书，夹进去她妈妈来的一封信。
“他为什么会要读你妈妈来的信呢？”我问。
“他不会读的。但如果他还算是个绅士的话，他会把信还给我的。”当然啦，她的宿舍及房间号码就在信封上。
第二天，他拿着那封信出现了，并约我室友出去。“错不了的，”她后来对我说，“那本书的书名是《远大前程》。”
