聪明的法国人

有一个法国人在英国旅行，他的英文说的不错，但是不够流利，有一件事，是他的词汇量不够大。

有一天，他到一个小乡村的酒店，想点几个鸡蛋。但是想不起来鸡蛋怎么说。

透过窗户，他看见一只公鸡在院里散步，他立刻问侍者那个鸟在英文里怎么说。

侍者告诉他叫公鸡。法国人马上问这个公鸡的老婆怎么说。

侍者告诉他叫母鸡，法国人又问，母鸡的孩子叫什么？

侍者告诉他叫小鸡。

法国人又问这个小鸡在出生前叫什么。侍者告诉他叫鸡蛋。

“好的”，法国人说，“我要两个鸡蛋和一杯咖啡”。

A Frenchman was once travelling in England. He could speak English quite well but not perfectly. For one thing,his vocabulary was not large.

One day,he was having a meal in a small country hotel and wanted to order some eggs. But he couldn't remember the word for eggs.

Suddently, through the window, he saw a cock walking in the yard. He immediately asked the waiter what the bird was called in English.

The waiter told him that was called a cock.

The Frenchman then asked what the cock's wife was called.

The waiter told him that she was called a hen.

The Frenchman then asked what the hen's children are called.

The waiter told him that they were chickens.

The Frenchman then asked what the chickens were called before they were born.

The waiter told him they were called eggs.

"Fine!" said the Frenchman. "Please bring me two eggs and a cup of coffee."
