Mr. Brown arrived for work an hour late. His clothes were torn and tattered. He was banged and bruised, and he had one arm in a sling. His boss was purple with rage.

"It's ten o'clock," screamed the boss, "you were supposed to be here at nine. What happened?"

"I'm sorry," explained Mr. Brown, "I fell out of ten-story window."

"That took you a whole hour?"

布朗先生上班整整迟到了一小时，他衣衫不整，浑身青紫，一只胳膊上还打着绷带。他的老板怒火冲天。

“现在已经十点了，”老板咆哮着，“你九点钟就应该来的。到底发生了什么事？”

“对不起，”布朗先生解释道，“我从10层楼的窗户里摔下去了。”

“难道那也要用整整一个小时吗？”
