Quick Service（快速服務(wù)）英漢雙語笑話
A man took a pair of shoes to a shoe repair shop and said to the shoemaker, "I'd like you to repair these shoes for me, please."
"Certainly, sir," the shoemaker said.
"When will they be ready?" the man asked.
"I'm a bit busy, but they'll be ready for you on Thursday." he said.
That's fine," the man said, and left the shop.
The next morning he received a letter, offering him a job in another country. Within 24 hours he was on an airplane to his new job.
Twenty years passed and he returned to his hometown.
He remembered his shoes.
"They were a good pair of shoes," he thought. "I wonder if the shoemaker is still there and still has them. I'll go and see.He was pleased to see that the shoemaker was still in the same shop ,although he was an old man by now.
"Good morning," he said to him. "Twenty years ago, I brought in a pair of shoes to be repaired. Do you think you've still got them?"
"Name?" the old shoemaker asked.
"Smith," the man said.
"I'll go and see. They may be out back.
The shoemaker went out to the back of his shop -and a few minutes later returned ,carrying the pair of shoes.
"Here we are," he said. "One pair of brown shoes to be repaired. I'm a bit busy now, but they'll probably be ready on Thursday."

一個人把一雙鞋子拿到一家鞋店，并對修鞋匠說，“請幫我修這雙鞋子。”
“當然可以，先生，”鞋匠說。
“什么時候能修好？”那個人問。
“我有點忙，但到星期四我會修好鞋子的。”他說。
“很好，”那人說，并離開了那家店。
第二天早上，他收到一封信，提供他一份在國外的工作。24小時內(nèi)，他登上飛機去接受那份新工作。
二十年過去了，他回到了故鄉(xiāng)。
他記起了那雙鞋。
“那是一雙好鞋，”他想，“我想知道鞋匠是否還在那兒，是否還有那雙鞋。我要去看看。”
他很高興看到鞋匠還在那家店里，雖然他已很老了。
“早上好，”他對鞋匠說，“二十年前，我拿了一雙鞋子來修。你記得還有那雙鞋嗎？”
“名字？”老鞋匠問。
“史密斯，”那人回答。
“我去瞧瞧，或許在后面呢。”
鞋匠回到店的后面去，幾分鐘后又回來了，手里提著那雙鞋子，“在這呢，”他說，“一雙棕色的鞋子要修。我有點忙，但可以到星期四把鞋子修好。”
