英语笑话12月27日-A private conversation（私人谈话）
[b][size=4][color=darkred]A private conversation[/color][/size][/b][color=magenta]Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. ‘I can't hear a word!’ I said angrily.[/color]
[color=magenta]‘It's none of your business, ’ the young man said rudely. ‘This is a private conversation!’[/color]:@
星期我去看戏。我的座位很好，戏很有意思，但我却无法欣赏。一青年男子与一青年女子坐在我的身后，大声地说着话。我非常生气，因为我听不见演员在说什么。我回过头去怒视着那一男一女，他们却毫不理会。最后，我忍不住了，又一次回过头去，生气地说：“我一个字也听不见了！”
“不关你的事，”那男的毫不客气地说，“这是私人间的谈话！”

[color=darkorange] 在西方文化中人们对private（私人的，个人的）这个概念很看重。这个词的名词形式privacy有“隐私（权）”的意思。所以文中的小伙子会振振有词地说“This is a private conversation!”不过他忘了他是在一个public place（公众场合），而且他们的说话声太大，已经影响了别人。
