目 录 上一节 下一节 
一天，威尔逊夫妇和他们的孩子们准备去度假。他们必须在上午十一点四十分到达飞机场。威尔逊先生说，"坐出租车到那里要半个小时，所以我们大家必须在十一点钟前准备好。任何人都不能耽搁了。" At ten minutes to eleven they were still all running around doing things, except Mrs. Wilson, who was sitting quietly on a chair in the garden enjoying the sun. 到了十一点差十分，大家都在跑来跑去，忙这忙那的，只有威尔逊夫人安静地坐在椅子上晒太阳。 Her husband and children were very surprised that she wasn't in a hurry too, until the taxi arrived and Mrs. Wilson said to them, "Well, I knew that this was going to be happen, so before I went to bed last night, I moved all our clocks and watches ahead twenty minutes. So now we can go to the airport quietly without worring about being late." 她丈夫和孩子们都很奇怪，为什么她不象他们那样匆匆忙忙的。直到出租车来了，威尔逊太太才对他们说："是这样的，我就知道会发生这种事，所以，昨晚睡觉前，我就把我们所有的时钟和手表都拨快了二十分钟。所以，现在我们可以悠哉地飞到机场去，而不用担心迟到了。"
