一个英国人_英汉双语笑话

    once, late at night, an englishman came out of his room into the corridor of a hotel and asked the servant to bring him a glass of water. the servant did as he was asked. the englishman re-entered his room, but a few minutes later he came into the corridor again and once more asked the servant for a glass of water. the servant brought him another glass of water. every few minutes the englishmen would come out of his room and repeat his request. after a half-hour the astonished servant decided to ask the englishman what he was doing with the water. "nothing," the englishman answered imperturbably, "it’s simply that my room is on fire."
