Go Barefoot

In secondary school, I was always self-conscious about my height.

Once I was asked out by a life-guard. I had never really stood next to him and didn't know how tall he was, so the night of the date I took out two pairs of shoes-one with heels, one flat. I arranged with my brother to answer the door, compare his height with my date's and run upstairs to let me know which shoes to wear.

When doorbell rang I waited. Then my brother showed up and told me what I didn't want to hear: "Go barefoot."

光着脚去

中学的时候，我对自己的高度非常敏感。

一次，一位救生员约我出去。事实上，我从未和他并肩站过，因而不知道他到底有多高。因此约会那晚，我拿出两双鞋，一双高跟，一双平跟。我安排哥哥去开门，让他和救生员比比高度，再上楼告诉我应穿哪双鞋。

门铃响了，我在楼上等着。哥哥跑上楼告诉了我一个不幸的消息："你可以光着脚去约会。"

To be on the Safe Side

In a cinema during a performance one of the audience gets up, makes his way along the row of seats and goes out into the foyer. A few minutes later he returns and asks the man sitting at the head of the row:

"Excuse me, was it your foot I stepped on when I was going out a moment ago?"

" Yes, but it doesn't really matter. It didn't hurt at all."

"Oh, no, it isn't that. I only want to make sure that this is my row."

保证没走错

在一家电影院里，一名观众在演出期间站了起来，沿着他那排位子走到休息室去了。几分钟后，他回到那排位子并问坐在首位的那位男士道：

"对不起，请问我刚才出去的时候是踩着你的脚吗？"

"是的，不过没什么关系，一点也不疼。"

"噢，不，我不是这个意思。我只是想确认一下这是不是我的那排位子。"
