Vacationing on the island of Oahu, we were waiting in our tour bus for some stragglers to show up. A man, obviously not with our group, approached the bus and was about to board. How would our driver handle the situation, we wondered. Straight-faced, he leaned toward the door and asked, "Going to the nudist Colony, sir?"

p>在瓦湖岛上度假时,我们坐在旅游车里等候掉队的人。一位男子,明显不是和我们一起的,朝旅游车走来并要上车。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?”

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

p>“哦,不,”刚想乘车的男子回答说,迅速转身而逃。

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

p>“每次都管用,”司机眨巴了一下眼睛说。

p>【注释】

p>(1) be about to(do)(表计划)即将做

p>(2) straight-faced adj.板起面孔的

p>(3) nudist Colony天体营(裸体主义者实行其信条的场所)

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