1.I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, "Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!'?
2.The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come.?
'Mr.Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice.?
'Don't interrupt,' he said.?
Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!?
3.After I had had lunch at a village pub, I looked for my bag. I had left it on a chair beside the door and now it wasn't there! As I was looking for it, the landlord came in.?
'Did you have a good meal?" he asked.?
'Yes, thank you,' I answered, 'but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag.'?
The landlord smiled and immediately went out. In a few minutes he returned with my?bag and gave it back to me.?
'I'm very sorry,' he said. 'My dog had taken in into the garden. He often does this!'收起

是不是需要带中文翻译的英语小故事？

英语小故事 one day, a teacher took his pupils to a chicken farm to pay a visit. when they came near the incubator, chick just got out of its egg shell. 一天，老师带学生到养鸡场参观，当他们走近孵化器时，刚好一只小鸡破壳而出。 "it's wonderful to see a little thing come out from the egg shell, isn't it？" the teacher said. “看见一个小生命从蛋壳里出来，岂不是很奇妙的吗？”老师说。 "yes, sir." said one of the boys, " but it would be more wonderful if we knew how a chick gets in to its eggs hell before hand." “是的，老师。”一个男学生说，“可是，如果我们知道它是怎样事先钻进蛋壳里的那就更奇妙了。”
