A man got into a train and found himself sitting beside a woman. She seemed to be about thirty-five years old. Soon they began to talk to each other. The man asked, "Do you have a family?"

"Yes, I have a son," the woman answered.

"Does he smoke?" asked the man.

"No, never," the woman answered.

"That's god. Does your son drink wine?"

"Oh,no," the woman answered at once.

"And does he ever come home late at night?"

"No, he goes to bed after dinner."

"Well," the man said, "he's a good young man. How old is he?"

"He's six months old," the woman answered.

“是的，我有一個兒子，”婦女回答。

“他抽煙嗎?”男士問。

“不，從不，”婦女回答。

“好極了。那么你兒子喝酒嗎?”

“啊，不，”婦女馬上答道。

“那么他有沒有晚上回家很晚的時候?”

“不，他吃完晚飯就睡覺。”

“好，”男人說，“他是個好小伙子。他多大了?”

“他六個月了，”婦女回答。
