英语笑话 172 （去天体营吗？ Going to the nu

去天体营吗？ Going to the nudist Colony?

Vacationing on the island of Oahu, we were waiting in our tour bus for some stragglers to show up.

在瓦湖岛上度假时，我们坐在旅游车里等候掉队的人。

A man, obviously not with our group, approached the bus and was about to board. 

一位男子，明显不是和我们一起的，朝旅游车走来并要上车。

How would our driver handle the situation, we wondered. Straight-faced, he leaned toward the door and asked, "Going to the nudist Colony, sir?"

司机会怎么处理这种情况呢？我们都拭目以待。司机拉长了脸，向车门靠过去，问道：“先生，是去天体营吗？”

"Oh, no," replied the would-be passenger, retreating quickly.

“哦，不，”刚想乘车的男子回答说，迅速转身而逃。

"Works every time," the driver said with a wink.

“每次都管用，”司机眨巴了一下眼睛说。

【注释】

(2) straight-faced adj.板起面孔的

(3) nudist Colony天体营（裸体主义者实行其信条的场所）

(4) retreating quickly迅速后退。这是一个分词短语作状语，表示伴随状况。
