蒙特利尔自助餐厅的一位顾客拧开盥洗室的龙头, 结果被水烫伤了．＂这太可恶了, ＂他抱怨道, ＂标着C的龙头流出的是开水．＂
＂可是, 先生, C代表Chaude－法语里代表“热”．如果您居住在蒙特利尔的话就得知道这一点．＂
＂等等, ＂那位顾客咆哮一声, ＂另外一个龙头同样标的是C．＂
＂当然, ＂经理说道: ＂它代表冷．毕竟, 蒙特利尔是个双语城市．＂
Chaude and Cold
A patron in Montreal cafe turned on a tap in the washroom and got scalded. This is an outrage, he complained. The faucet marked C gave me boiling water.
But, Monsieur, C stands for chaude - French for hot. You should know that if you live in Montreal.
Wait a minute, roared the patron. The other tap is also marked C.
Of course, said the manager, It stands for cold. After all, Montreal is a bilingual city.
