a funny thing happened to me last friday. i"d gone to london to do some shopping. i wanted to get some christmas presents, and i needed to find some books for my course at school (you see, i"m a student). i caught an early train to london so by early afternoon i"d bought everything that i wanted. anyway, i"m not very fond of london, all the noise and traffic, and i"d made some arrangements for that evening. so, i took a taxi to waterloo station. i can"t really afford taxis, but i wanted to get the 3:30 train. unfortunately the taxi got stuck in a traffic jam, and by the time i got to waterloo, the train had just gone. i had to wait an hour for the next one. i bought an evening newspaper the "standard", and wandered over to the station buffet. at that time of day it"s nearly empty, so i bought a coffee and a packet of biscuits--chocolate biscuits. i"m yew fond of chocolate biscuits. there were plenty of empty tables and i found one near the window. i sat down and began doing the crossword. enjoy doing crossword puzzles.
after a couple of minutes a man sat down opposite me. there was nothing special about him, except that he was very tall. in fact he looked like a typical city businessman--you know, dark suit and briefcase. i didn"t say anything and i carried on with my crossword. suddenly he reached across the table, opened my packet of biscuits, took one, dipped it into his coffee and popped it into his mouth, i couldn"t believe my eyes! i was too shocked to say any thing. anyway, i didn"t want to make a fuss, so i decided to ignore it. i always avoid trouble if i can. i just took a biscuit myself and went back to my crossword.
when the man took a second biscuit, i didn"t look up and i didn"t make a sound. i pretended to be very interested in the puzzle. after a couple of minutes, i casually put out my hand, took the last biscuit and glanced at the man. he was staring at me furiously. i nervously put the biscuit in my mouth, and decided to leave. i was ready to get up and go when the man suddenly pushed back his chair, stood up and hurried out of the buffet. i felt very re. lieved and decided to wait two or three minutes before going myself. i finished my coffee, folded my newspaper and stood up. and there, on the table, where my newspaper had been, was my packet of biscuits.
"我碰到一件趣事"英語作文譯文：
上周五我碰到了一樁有趣的事。我去倫敦購物，想買些聖誕禮物，還想找些學校教程(你知道，我是名學生)。我趕了早班車去倫敦，這樣剛到下午我就已經買好了想買的一切。不管怎樣，我不喜歡倫敦，喧鬧且交通擁擠，而且那天晚上，我已經有了安排。于是我搭計程車去了滑鐵盧車站。其實我是搭不起計程車的，可我想趕上3：30的火車。不幸的是，計程車遇到了交通阻塞，等我到滑鐵盧的時候，火車剛好離開。無奈，我隻好等一個小時乘下一趟。我買了一份晚報《標準報》，然後逛到了車站
的餐廳。那時候餐廳幾乎空無一人，于是我買了一杯咖啡、一包餅幹——朱古力餅幹。我非常喜歡朱古力餅幹。那裏有好多空桌子，我挑了一張靠窗的。坐下後我開始做字謎遊戲。我一直很喜歡玩字謎遊戲。
幾分鍾後一個男人坐在我的對面。他除了個子高沒什麽特別的。事實上，他看上去像個典型的城市商人——你知道，黑色套裝和公文包，我沒說什麽，繼續做我的字謎遊戲。突然他把手伸到桌上，開啟了我那包餅幹，拿出一塊，蘸了蘸他的咖啡，很快塞進嘴裏。我簡直不能相信自己的眼睛!我震驚得一句話也說不出來。不管怎麽說，我不想小題大做，所以我決定隻當沒看見算了。能不惹麻煩，我盡量不惹麻煩，我隻是拿了一塊餅幹，又回到我的字謎遊上。
那個男人拿第二塊餅幹時，我沒抬頭，也沒出聲，裝出一副對字謎很感興趣的樣子。幾分鍾後，我不經意地伸出手，拿出了最後一塊餅幹，然後看了看那個男人。他正怒氣沖沖地盯著我。我不安地把餅幹放進嘴裏，並決定離開。我正要起身離開時，那個男人突然推開椅子，急匆匆地走出了餐廳。我感到很輕松，決定等兩三分鍾再走。我喝完咖啡，疊好報紙，站了起來。隻見桌上，放報紙的地方，放著我的那包餅幹。
