第39章 哪一个莎士比亚

The college football player knew his way around the locker room better than he did the library.So when I saw the gridiron star roaming the stacks looking confused,I asked how I could help.

“I have to read a play by Shakespeare.”he said.

“Which one?”I asked.

He answered,“William.”

我问:“哪一个?”

他说:“威廉。”(注:我问的是哪一个剧本,他以为我问的是“哪一个莎士比亚”。)
