By the time John pulled into the little town, every hotel room was taken. “Youve got to have a room somewhere,” he pleaded. “Or just a bed—I dont care where.”
約翰開車來到這座小鎮時，旅館已客滿。“肯定還有空房的，” 他懇求道，“或是只要一張床，睡哪里都行。”
“Well, I do have a double room with one occupant,” admitted the manager, “and he might be glad to split the cost. But to tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past. Im not sure itd be worth it to you.”
“好吧，我這兒確實有個雙人間，不過只有一個住客，” 旅館經理答道，“有人分擔房費他會很高興的。可是實話告訴你，他打呼嚕的聲音太大了，住在隔壁的人都抱怨過。不知你這樣是否劃得來。”
“No problem,” the tired traveler assured him. “Ill take it.”
“沒問題，” 旅途勞頓的約翰向他保證道，“就要這間了?！?
The next morning, John came down to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. When asked about how he slept, he replied, “Never better.”
第二天早上，約翰下來吃早飯，看起來精神煥發。當問及他昨晚睡得怎樣時，他答道：“從沒這么好過?！?
The manager was impressed, “No problem with the other guy snoring, then?”
經理頗為驚訝：“這么說，跟那個打呼嚕的人睡在一起什么事都沒有了？”
“Nope. I shut him up in no time.”
“不是的。只不過我很快就讓他閉嘴了。”
“Howd you manage that?”
“你是怎么做到的？”
“He was already in bed, snoring away, when I came in the room,” John said. “I went over, gave him a kiss on the cheek and said, ‘Good night, beauty. With that he sat up all night watching me.”
“我進去時他已經睡著了，不停地打著呼嚕。” 約翰說，“我便走過去，在他臉上親了一下，說了聲‘晚安，美人兒。于是他整晚再沒睡，一直盯著我?！?
