Уроки по английскому языку – Урок 47

An Englishman and a Frenchman are discussing their respective1 countries. Of course, says the Englishman, you Frenchmen are not gentlemen. And why not? replies his friend, slightly annoyed2. Well, for example, if you enter a bathroom by mistake3, And you see a young lady washing, what do you say? We say “Excuse me, madam”. Exactly, says the Englishman, but a gentleman says: “Excuse me, sir.” A gentleman is a person capable of4 two things: He can describe a pretty girl without using gestures, And he always hears a funny story for the first time. Two English gentlemen are eating a meal in their club. They taste5 the soup with great interest, and one says to the other: It’s an interesting soup, but not a great soup.Англичанин и француз разговаривают о своих странах. Конечно, говорит англичанин, вы, французы, не джентльмены. А почему нет?
отвечает его друг, немножко рассерженный. Итак, если, например, вы по ошибке войдете в ванную комнату, И увидите молодую моющуюся даму, что вы скажете? Мы говорим: “Извините, госпожа”. Вот именно, говорит англичанин, джентльмен скажет: “Извините, господин”. Джентльмен – это человек способный на две вещи: Он может описать красивую девушку без жестов И всегда слышит смешную историю впервые. Два английских джентльмена едят [блюдо] в своем клубе. Они пробуют суп с большим интересом, и один говорит другому: Это интересный суп, но не замечательный [суп].
