A patron in Montreal cafe turned on a tap in the washroom and got scalded. "This is an outrage," he complained. "The faucet marked C gave me boiling water."

　　"But, Monsieur, C stands for chaude - French for hot. You should know that if you live in Montreal."

　　"Wait a minute," roared the patron. "The other tap is also marked C."

　　"Of course," said the manager, "It stands for cold. After all, Montreal is a bilingual city."

　　蒙特利爾自助餐廳的一位顧客擰開(kāi)盥洗室的龍頭，結(jié)果被水燙傷了。“這太可惡了，”他抱怨道，“標(biāo)著C的龍頭流出的是開(kāi)水。”(顧客以為是cold)

　　“可是，先生，C代表Chaude-法語(yǔ)里代表‘熱’。如果您居住在蒙特利爾的話(huà)就得知道這一點(diǎn)。”

　　“等等，”那位顧客咆哮一聲，“另外一個(gè)龍頭同樣標(biāo)的是C。”

　　“當(dāng)然，”經(jīng)理說(shuō)道：“它代表冷。畢竟，蒙特利爾是個(gè)雙語(yǔ)城市。”
