　　Marriage(婚姻) or Funeral(葬礼)

　　A tourist(游客) was standing outside a very big church in Germany when a wedding party(婚礼队伍) got out of some cars and went into the church. Everbody was very well dressed and there were a lot of photographers(摄影师), so the tourist thought: "The people getting married must be famous." He turned to a man who was standing beside him and said: "What is the name of the man who is getting married?"

　　The man answered: "Ich spreche kein English."

　　The tourist thanked him and went into the church. As he was coming out of another door, a coffin(棺材) was being carried out. There had been a funeral service in one of the side chapels(小礼拜堂) of the church.

　　The tourist turned to one of the people in the church and said : "Whose funeral was that?"

　　The man answered: "Ich spreche kein English." "Well," said the tourist, "his marriage didn't last long."

　　备注：Ich spreche kein English.＝德语，意思是：I don't speak any English.
