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，我有一个儿子，”妇女回答。
“他抽烟吗?”男士问。
“不，从不，”妇女回答。
“好极了。那么你儿子喝酒吗?”
“啊，不，”妇女马上答道。
“那么他有没有晚上回家很晚的时候?”
“不，他吃完晚饭就睡觉。”
“好，”男人说，“他是个好小伙子。他多大了?”
