Do the English speak English?？
原文
Do they speak English?
Why does the writer not understand the porter?
I arrived in London at last.
The railway station was big, black and dark.
I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter.
I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well.
The porter, however, could not understand me.
I repeated my question several times and at last he understood.
he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly.
'I am a foreigner,' I said.
Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him.
My teacher never spoke English like that!
The porter and I looked at each other and smiled.
Then he said something and I understood it.
'You'll soon learn English!' he said.
I wonder.
In England, each person speaks a different language.
The English understand each other, but I don't understand them!
译文
他们说英语吗？
为什么作者听不懂那个行李搬运工的话？
我终于到了伦敦。
火车站又大又黑，显得非常阴暗。
我不知道怎么去我的酒店，于是我问了一个行李搬运工。
我不仅英语说得很仔细，而且发音也很清晰。
然而，那个行李搬运工却听不懂我。
我重复了几次我的问题，最后他才明白了。
他回答了我，但他说得既不慢也不清楚。
“我是外国人，”我说。
然后他放慢了语速，但我还是听不懂他。
我的老师从来都不会用那样的方式说英语！
那个行李搬运工和我对视了一眼，然后都笑了。
接着他说了些什么，我听懂了。
“你很快就能学会英语了！”他说。
这可不好说。
在英格兰，每个人说着不同的语言。
英国人之间可以互相理解，但我却听不懂他们的话！
