1、 21世纪大学实用英语综合教程（第二册）课文翻译及课后习题答案Unit One误 会 他 头发蓬乱，衣着肮脏，口袋里只有35美分。在马里兰州的巴尔的摩，他登上一辆公共汽车并径直走向了洗手间。他想如果他躲在洗手间里，便可以不付钱就乘车去 纽约。但是坐在公共汽车后面的一位乘客看见了他。她拍了拍她前面那位乘客的肩膀说：“洗手间里有个流浪汉。告诉公共汽车司机。”那位乘客轻轻地拍了一下坐 在他前面的人，说道：“告诉公共汽车司机，洗手间里有个流浪汉。这口信通过一个又一个的乘客传到了公共汽车的前边。但在这一过程的某个环节，口信变了。当它传到公共汽车司机那儿时，已经不是“洗手间里有个流 浪汉”，而是“洗手间里
2、有颗炸弹”。司机马上在公路边停下车来并用无线电通知了警察。当警察到达时，他们让乘客下车并且远离汽车。然后他们关闭了那条公 路。那很快就造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。警察在警犬的帮助下，在公共汽车上搜查了两个小时。当然，他们没有发现什么炸弹。两个发音相似的英语单词给一个想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚州奥克兰的人也造成了麻烦。他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。他以为听到广播中宣布了他的航班， 所以他走向登机门，出示了机票并登上了飞机。起飞20分钟后，这人开始担心起来。奥克兰在洛杉矶的北边，但是飞机似乎正在向西飞，而当他向窗外望去时，他 所能看到的全是大海。“这架飞机是去奥克兰吗?”他问航班服务员。航班服务员倒抽了一

4、她的老板说:“明天请准时上班。你今天早晨迟到了15分钟” “对不起，”她说。“我的车发动不起来，而且” 突然她停止了讲话并开始微笑起来。她这时才明白老板并没有问她“你拿到盘子了吗？”他问的是“你是不是起来晚了？”Auckland 和Oakland。“一个盘子”和“起晚”。当发音相似的单词引起误会时，也许最好的处理方式就是一笑了之并从错误中吸取教训。当然，有时候很难笑得出 来。那个没到Oakland却去了Auckland的人是不会想笑的。但即使是那场误会，最终的结局也还不错。那家航空公司支付了那人在新西兰的旅馆住房 和用餐的费用，还支付了他飞回加利福尼亚的费用。“ 哦，还好，”那人后来说，“我一
