Reading water meters in an unfamiliar part of town, I came upon a house with no number. Then I noticed an elderly man gardening at the first house on that block.

"Excuse me," I said to him. "Are you Number One?"

He smiled and replied, "My wife thinks so!"

在城区陌生地段查读水表时，我发现一处房子没有门牌号。接着，我看到这个街区的第一幢房子前有一位老人在养花。

“打扰，”我对他说，“您是第一（号）吗？”

他笑了，回答说：“我老伴是这样认为的。”
