To be on the Safe Side¹

In a cinema during² a performance³ one of the audience⁴ gets up, makes his way along⁵ the row of seats⁶ and goes out into the foyer. A few minutes later⁷ he returns⁸ and asks the man sitting at the head of the row:

“Excuse me, was it your foot I stepped⁹ on when I was going¹⁰ out a moment ago?”

“ Yes, but it doesn't really matter. It didn't hurt at all.”

“Oh, no, it isn't that. I only want to make sure that this is my row.”

保证没走错

在一家电影院里，一名观众在演出期间站了起来，沿着他那排位子走到休息室去了。几分钟后，他回到那排位子并问坐在首位的那位男士道：

“对不起，请问我刚才出去的时候是踩着你的脚吗？”

“是的，不过没什么关系，一点也不疼。”

“噢，不，我不是这个意思。我只是想确认一下这是不是我的那排位子。”
