Mr.Harris used to work in Dover,but then he changed his work,and he and his wife moved to another town.They did not have many friends there,but they soon met a lot of interesting people,and after a few weeks,they often went to dinner or to parties at other people's houses.
Then Mrs.Harris said to her husband,"We've been to a lot of other people's houses,and now we must invite them to our house,mustn't we?"
"Yes,certainly,"answered her husband,"A big party will be the easiest thing,won't it?Then we can start to invite prople to dinner in small numbers next month."So Mrs.Harris said,"Yes,I'll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December."
"How many will that be?"Mr.Harris asked."Don't invite too many."
Mrs.Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband saw that she was writing,"Party:6:30to 8:30p.m."
"That isn't very nice,is it?"he said."You're telling our guests that they must go at8:30."SO Mrs.Harris
just wrote"Party:6:30p.m."
Alot of guests came,and they all had a good time,so they did not go home at 8:30.In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived.He said,"You must stop making a noise,because someone has complained."
Mr.Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman,so everyone went home.They were sorry to have to go.
When Mr.and Mrs.Harris were alone again,she said to him."That was a surprise,wasn't it?Who complained about the noise?"
"I did,"Mr.Harris answered in a tired voice.
哈里斯先生以前在(美国)多佛尔工作,但后来他换了工作,于是他跟妻子把家搬到另一座城市去了.他们在那儿没有朋友,但很快就遇到了一些非常有趣的人,几个星期后,他们就常常去别人家里吃晚饭或参加聚会.
之后哈里斯太太跟她丈夫说:“我们去过了许多人的家,现在我们该邀请他们来我们家了,是吧?”
“是的,当然,”她丈夫说,“办一场盛大的晚会太简单了,不是吗?然后下个月我们就可以开始邀请人数较少的人来吃晚餐了.”于是哈里斯太太说,“好的,我会邀请所有朋友12月5日来参加晚会.”
“你要请多少人?”哈里斯先生问,“别请太多人.”
哈里斯太太就开始写邀请函,她丈夫看到她写着:“晚会:晚上6:30至8:30.”
“这可不太好,不是吗?”他说,“你这是跟客人说他们必须8:30离开.”于是哈里斯太太把它改成了“晚会:晚上6:30.”
来了很多客人,而且都玩得很开心,他们没有在8:30回家.实际上他们一直待到了午夜,这里门铃响了,来了一个警察.他说:“你们必须停止吵闹,有人投诉你们.”
哈里斯先生说他不想与警察争吵,于是人们都回家去了.他们为了不得不走而感到遗憾.
当家里只剩哈里斯先生和太太两人里,她对他说:“真奇怪,不是吗?谁会因为吵闹而投诉呢?”
“是我,”哈里斯先生疲惫地回答说.
