我碰到一件趣事(A Funny Thing Happened to Me)

　　a funny thing happened to me last friday. i'd gone to london to do some shopping. i wanted to get some christmas presents, and i needed to find some books for my course at school (you see, i'm a student). i caught an early train to london so by early afternoon i'd bought everything that i wanted. anyway, i'm not very fond of london, all the noise and traffic, and i'd made some arrangements for that evening. so, i took a taxi to waterloo station. i can't really afford taxis, but i wanted to get the 3:30 train. unfortunately the taxi got stuck in a traffic jam, and by the time i got to waterloo, the train had just gone. i had to wait an hour for the next one. i bought an evening newspaper the 'standard', and wandered over to the station buffet. at that time of day it's nearly empty, so i bought a coffee and a packet of biscuits--chocolate biscuits. i'm yew fond of chocolate biscuits. there were plenty of empty tables and i found one near the window. i sat down and began doing the crossword. enjoy doing crossword puzzles.

　　after a couple of minutes a man sat down opposite me. there was nothing special about him, except that he was very tall. in fact he looked like a typical city businessman--you know, dark suit and briefcase. i didn't say anything and i carried on with my crossword. suddenly he reached across the table, opened my packet of biscuits, took one, dipped it into his coffee and popped it into his mouth, i couldn't believe my eyes! i was too shocked to say any thing. anyway, i didn't want to make a fuss, so i decided to ignore it. i always avoid trouble if i can. i just took a biscuit myself and went back to my crossword.

　　when the man took a second biscuit, i didn't look up and i didn't make a sound. i pretended to be very interested in the puzzle. after a couple of minutes, i casually put out my hand, took the last biscuit and glanced at the man. he was staring at me furiously. i nervously put the biscuit in my mouth, and decided to leave. i was ready to get up and go when the man suddenly pushed back his chair, stood up and hurried out of the buffet. i felt very re. lieved and decided to wait two or three minutes before going myself. i finished my coffee, folded my newspaper and stood up. and there, on the table, where my newspaper had been, was my packet of biscuits.

　　"我碰到一件趣事"英語作文譯文：

　　上周五我碰到了一樁有趣的事。我去倫敦購物，想買些圣誕禮物，還想找些學(xué)校教程(你知道，我是名學(xué)生)。我趕了早班車去倫敦，這樣剛到下午我就已經(jīng)買好了想買的一切。不管怎樣，我不喜歡倫敦，喧鬧且交通擁擠，而且那天晚上，我已經(jīng)有了安排。于是我搭出租車去了滑鐵盧車站。其實(shí)我是搭不起出租車的，可我想趕上3：30的火車。不幸的是，出租車遇到了交通阻塞，等我到滑鐵盧的時(shí)候，火車剛好離開。無奈，我只好等一個(gè)小時(shí)乘下一趟。我買了一份晚報(bào)《標(biāo)準(zhǔn)報(bào)》，然后逛到了車站

　　的餐廳。那時(shí)候餐廳幾乎空無一人，于是我買了一杯咖啡、一包餅干——巧克力餅干。我非常喜歡巧克力餅干。那里有好多空桌子，我挑了一張靠窗的。坐下后我開始做字謎游戲。我一直很喜歡玩字謎游戲。

　　幾分鐘后一個(gè)男人坐在我的對面。他除了個(gè)子高沒什么特別的。事實(shí)上，他看上去像個(gè)典型的城市商人——你知道，黑色套裝和公文包，我沒說什么，繼續(xù)做我的字謎游戲。突然他把手伸到桌上，打開了我那包餅干，拿出一塊，蘸了蘸他的咖啡，很快塞進(jìn)嘴里。我簡直不能相信自己的眼睛!我震驚得一句話也說不出來。不管怎么說，我不想小題大做，所以我決定只當(dāng)沒看見算了。能不惹麻煩，我盡量不惹麻煩，我只是拿了一塊餅干，又回到我的字謎游上。

　　那個(gè)男人拿第二塊餅干時(shí)，我沒抬頭，也沒出聲，裝出一副對字謎很感興趣的樣子。幾分鐘后，我不經(jīng)意地伸出手，拿出了最后一塊餅干，然后看了看那個(gè)男人。他正怒氣沖沖地盯著我。我不安地把餅干放進(jìn)嘴里，并決定離開。我正要起身離開時(shí)，那個(gè)男人突然推開椅子，急匆匆地走出了餐廳。我感到很輕松，決定等兩三分鐘再走。我喝完咖啡，疊好報(bào)紙，站了起來。只見桌上，放報(bào)紙的地方，放著我的那包餅干。
