賴世雄讀英語笑話學英語之婚姻笑話(7)：一個感人的告別(雙語)
Unit 7 A Touching Farewell 一個感人的告別
Two old friends were out golfing. As they were preparing to tee off near a road, a funeral cortege drove by and one of the two friends took off his hat and held it over his heart until the line of cars had passed.
兩個老朋友出外打高爾夫球，當他們在一處路旁準備開球時，一列出殯送葬車隊恰巧經過那里，其中一位朋友脫去帽子放在胸前，直到車隊通過后才戴上帽子。
“Well, that was good manners on your part,” said his partner.
“你這樣做實在很有禮貌，”他的同伴說道。
“Oh, it was the least I could do. After all, we would have been married thirty years next Tuesday.”
“喔，那只不過是我最起碼所能做的事了。畢竟，到下星期二我們結婚就滿三十年了。”
英語知識點解說：
1.tee off 自發球處開球
2.funeral n. 葬禮；出 殯行列
3.cortege n. （法文）行列
4.take off... 脫去……
put on... 穿起
例："Take off your clothes and bend over," ordered the doctor.
（“脫掉衣服然后彎腰下去，”醫生命令道。）
5.manner n. 方式；禮貌（恒用復數）； 俗；舉止（=behavior）
good manner 有禮貌
例：There's something odd about that young man's manner.
（那個年輕人的行為有些奇怪。）
We all like to associate with people with good manners.
（我們都喜歡與有禮貌的人相處。）
6.on sb's part 在某人這方面
注意：
本詞組為形容詞詞組，使用時置于名詞之后。
例：Obviously the effort on your part is not enough.
（顯然你的努力還不夠。）
7.partner n. 同伴
8.It/That was the least one could do. 對某而言那不算什么；那是某人最起碼所能做的事。
例："Thank you very much for the help."
"Don't mention it. That's the least I could do."
（“非常感謝你的幫忙 。別客氣，那只是小事一樁。”）
9.after all 畢竟；終究
例：Don't expect too much of him. After all, he's only five.
（別對他要求那么多。畢竟，他才五歲而已。）
