(单词翻译:单击)

   Two young women were out walking in the country on a hot summer’s day when they saw a beautiful lake close to the road.
   ‘It’s so hot! Let’s go for a swim in that lake to cool down!’ suggested the first woman.
   ‘But we haven’t got any swimming things to put on,’ said the other, ‘ We can’t swim naked!’
   ‘Oh, don’t worry about that!’ reassured1 the first woman, ‘ There’s nobody here to see us.’
    So they took off all their clothes and got into the lovely cool water for a swim.
    After only a few minutes they noticed a farmer walking towards the lake carrying a large bucket.
   ‘Are you here to ask us to get out of the lake?’ the first woman asked.
   ‘I think he’s here to look at us!’ said the second woman.
   The old farmer frowned and held up the bucket for them to see.
   ‘No, I’m not here to tell you to get out of the lake and I didn’t come here to watch you ladies swim naked.’ he replied. ‘I’m just here to feed the alligator2.’
