It is Christmas, and there is a big party in the house. Guests come and go, but the party goes on.

今天是圣诞节，家里举办了一个大型派对。宾客来来去去，但是派对一直在持续中。

Then the bell rings. Several people shout, “Come in!” And a small man opens the front door and comes in.

然后门铃响了。几个人喊道：“请进！”然后一个小个子男人打开门走了进来。

Nobody knows him but the host goes to meet him and takes him to have a drink.

没有人认识他，但是主人上前迎接了他并带他去喝一杯。

The man sits there for an hour and drinks happily. Then suddenly he stops and looks at his host.

那个人坐在那里一个小时，高兴地喝着酒。然后他突然停下来，看着他的主人。

“You know,” he says, “Nobody invites me to this party. I don’t know you. I don’t know your wife and I don’t know any of your guests. My wife and I want to go out in our car, but one of your guests’ car is in front of our gate, so I come here to find him and my wife is waiting in our car for me to come back!”

“你知道，”他说，“没有人邀请我参加这个聚会。我不认识你。我不认识你的妻子，也不认识你的客人。我妻子和我想开车出去，但你的一位客人的车就在我们的门前，所以我来找他，我妻子在我们的车里等着我回去!”
