'What has happened?' she asked. 'How did your clothes get into such a mess?'
“发生了什么事?”她问,“你的衣服怎么搞得一塌糊涂?”
'A fire extinguisher, my dear,' answered the Ambassador drily. 'University students set the Embassy on fire this morning.'
“灭火器弄的,亲爱的,”大使冷冷地回答,“今天上午大学生们放火点着了大使馆。”
'Good heavens!' exclaimed his wife. 'And where were you at the time?'
“天啊!”他的夫人惊叫,“那你当时在什么地方?”
'I was in my office as usual,' answered the Ambassador.
“我和往常一样,在办公室里,”大使回答说。
The fire broke out in the basement.
地下室突然着火,
I went down immediately, of course, and that fool, Horst, aimed a fire extinguisher at me.

The Ambassador's wife went on asking questions, when she suddenly noticed a big hole in her husband's hat.
大使夫人继续提出问题,她突然又发现丈夫的帽子上有个洞。
'And how can you explain that?' she asked.
“那么你对那又作何解释呢?”她问。
'Oh, that,' said the Ambassador. 'Someone fired a shot through my office window. Accurate, don't you think? '
“那个嘛,”大使说,“有人向我办公室窗户开了一枪。真够准的,是不是?
Fortunately, I wasn't wearing it at the time.
幸亏我当时没戴帽子。
If I had been, I would not have been able to get home for lunch.
如果真戴着它,我现在就不能回家来吃午饭了。”
