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。
