In a cinema during a performance one of the audience gets up, makes his way along the row of seats and goes out into the foyer.
在一家电影院里，一名观众在演出期间站了起来，沿着他那排位子走到休息室去了。
A few minutes later he returns and asks the man sitting at the head of the row:
几分钟后，他回到那排位子并问坐在首位的那位男士道：
Excuse me, was it your foot I stepped on when I was going out a moment ago
对不起，请问我刚才出去的时候是踩着你的脚吗
Yes, but it doesnt really matter. It didnt hurt at all.
是的，不过没什么关系，一点也不疼。
Oh, no, it isnt that. I only want to make sure that this is my row.
噢，不，我不是这个意思。我只是想确认一下这是不是我的那排位子。

如果你不慎踩到了别人的脚，别忘了好好道歉哦：Sorry, I didnt mean to step on your foot. 对不起，我不是故意踩你的。
昂贵的代价

Dentist: I usually do. But your son yelled so loud, he scared four other patients out of the office.
牙科医生：是的。但是您儿子这么大声地叫唤，他都吓跑四位病人了。
