speaker作講話的人，hear out聽完

笑話原文】

Why He Couldn’t Leave?

There was a meeting with a large number of people. At first the speaker was very interesting, but as time went on, he became very boring. Finally when he was through, there was only one man sitting in the large room.

The speaker walked up to the man and said, “Thank you for hearing me out when all the others left the room.”

“Oh! Don’t mention it!” replied the man, “I cannot leave because I am the next speaker.”

中文譯文】

他為什么不能走

很多人在開會(huì)。一開始，講話的人還挺有趣的，可是漸漸的，他的講話越來越無聊。終于他講完了，大大的房間里只剩下一個(gè)人坐在下面。

講話的人走過去對(duì)那個(gè)人說：“感謝你在所有人都離開后還聽我說完。”

“哎，別提了!”那個(gè)人回答，“我不能離開是因?yàn)槲沂窍乱粋€(gè)要講話的人!”
