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.
蒙特利尔咖啡店的一位客户拧开盥洗室的水龙头,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,在法语里代表热。假如你住在蒙特利尔的话就应该了解这一点。
等等,那位客户咆哮着,另外一个龙头标的也是C。
那当然,经理说道:这个C代表冷。毕竟,蒙特利尔是个双语城市。
