Three men were sitting on a park bench. The one in the middle was reading a newspaper; the others were pretending to fish. They baited imaginary hooks, cast lines and reeled in their catch. 

　　A passing policeman stopped to watch the spectacle and asked the man in the middle if he knew the other two. 

　　"Oh yes, " he said. "They are my friends. 

　　"In that case, " warned the officer, "you'd better get them out of here!" 

　　"Yes, sir, " the man replied, and he began rowing furiously. 

　　三人同舟 

　　三位男子在公园的长椅上坐着。中间的一个在读报纸，另外两个在假装钓鱼。他们给想象的鱼钩上鱼饵，放线，并卷线把鱼抓上来。 

　　一位过路警察驻足观察了这个景象，他问中间的那个男子是否认识其他两位。 

　　“喔，认识，”他说，“他们是我的朋友。” 

　　“那样的话，”警察告诫说，“你最好把他们从这里弄走。” 

　　“好的，警官。”那男子回答说，接着就开始疯狂般地做起划桨的动作来。
