        Vacationing on the island of Oahu, we were waiting in our tour bus for some stragglers to show up. A man, obviously not with our group, approached the bus and was about to board. How would our driver handle the situation, we wondered. Straight-faced, he leaned toward the door and asked, "Going to the nudist Colony, sir?"在瓦湖岛上度假时，我们坐在旅游车里等候掉队的人。一位男子，明显不是和我们一起的，朝旅游车走来并要上车。司机会怎么处理这种情况呢？我们都拭目以待。司机拉长了脸，向车门靠过去，问道：“先生，是去天体营吗？”
        "Oh, no," replied the would-be passenger, retreating quickly.“哦，不，”刚想乘车的男子回答说，迅速转身而逃。
        "Works every time," the driver said with a wink.“每次都管用，”司机眨巴了一下眼睛说。
        【注释】
        (1) be about to（do）（表计划）即将做
        (2) straight-faced adj.板起面孔的
        (3) nudist Colony天体营（裸体主义者实行其信条的场所）
        (4) retreating quickly迅速后退。这是一个分词短语作状语，表示伴随状况。
