Go Ahead-繼續
Go Ahead
One day? my mother and I went shopping at a Chinese supermarket. We found that the cruciaa carps in the seafood counter were very fresh, as a result we chose four crucian carps and handed them over to the seller. As it would take some time to clean the fish and dispose of their internal organs, we decided to look around the other places first. When we came back to the seafood counter, I asked the seller for my fish. He raised one, which was being cleaned, to let me have a look and tell me he was still working on the fish. I hurriedly said, "Go ahead. Go ahead." I meant for him to go on.
Unexpectedly, the seller stopped his work, looking at me with puzzled expression, and asked me in reply, "Go ahead?" "Yes," I said. "go ahead." He pointed the fish in all seriousness, and repeated very seriously', "Head?" Paying no more attention to him, I turned back to chat with my mother. Suddenly, "Bang, bang, bang", was heard from the counter. Promptly, the sc)let passed the four fish without heads to me.
I asked loudly, "Why did you cut all the heads off?" The scller was also. very annoyed and said, "Didn't you tell me to go ahead again and again?" On hearing what he said I felt funny as well as angry. It turned out that he considered "go ahead" as "cut the head off" No wonder he asked me several times about it! Taking the headless fish home, I became imcreasingly frightened. Wouldn't it be possible that the hairdresser would have cut my head off if I had gone to get my haircut?

一天，我和媽媽去一家華人超市購物，我們發現海鮮櫃檯的鯽魚很新鮮，於是我們選了四條遞給賣魚的師傅。因為洗魚、處理內臟要花些時間，我們便決定先到其他地方逛逛。等回到海鮮櫃檯，我向那師傅要魚，他舉起一條正在清洗的魚讓我看了看，意思是他還在洗呢，我趕緊說：“Go ahead．Go ahead."(繼續吧，繼續吧。)意思是讓他繼續。
不料，那位師傅卻停了下來，很迷惑地看著我，反問道：“Go ahead?”我說：“Yes，go ahead．”他一本正經地指指魚，很認真地重複了一遍：“Head?”我沒再理他，就轉過身和媽媽閒聊起來。突然只聽見櫃檯里傳出“砰、砰、砰”的聲音，賣魚師傅隨即遞給我四條沒頭的魚。
我大聲地問；“為什麼把魚頭給剁掉了?”那師傅也很惱火地說：“你不是一再說‘go ahead’嘛?”我聽了真是又好氣又好笑。原來他把"go ahead"理解成“把頭剁掉”，難怪他問了我好幾遍呢!
拿著沒頭的魚回家，越想越害怕，要是去理髮，理髮師傅豈不是把我的腦袋砍了?
