今天我很生气。

打车,上车,对司机说: two thousand and one,M street.  怕他反应不过来,又具体的说了一下: the twentieth and M (也就是20街和M街道的交界)

结果他带我七拐八拐,最后开到23th and M, 问我在哪里停。

我说, I said: the twentieth and M, u know twentieth? two-zero? 

他说,oh I thought u said twenty-three.

我说,if I meant that, I would have said "twenty-third". I said two thousand and one, then I said the twentieth, I don't understand why you still got it wrong? 

他说,sorry sorry sorry...

开车最后送我到地方,我气得一分小费都没给。

自认为发音已经很不错了,司机听错了,是不是因为司机不是美国人的缘故?

否则,那真要去自我检讨了。
