Good news——好消息

　　Halfway between New York City and Washington, D.C., the train's engine fell silent."I've got good news and bad news," the conductor announced. "The bad news is we lost power." My fellow passengers groaned.” The good news," he added, "is we weren't cruising at 30,000 feet."

　　在纽约至华盛顿的半路上，火车的引擎突然没声儿了。“我有好消息和坏消息宣布”列车长通过广播说。“坏消息是我们失去动力了” 同车的乘客们不禁抱怨了起来。 “至于好消息”，他补充说，“是我们没有在3万英尺上巡航”。
