The telephone mix-up 傳錯話事件
One day Wally Walrus called Kathleen.
"Kathleen, I'm calling to invite you and Mark to a party at my place tonight at 6pm. Wear nice clothes!"
"OK" Kathleen said.
Mark wasn't at home, so Kathleen called his work.
"Hello, this is Angela Cougar."
"Hi Angela, where's Mark?" Kathleen asked.
"He's gone to Babs the British Beaver's place."
"Will you tell him to meet Kathleen at Wally's place at six for a party? He needs to dress up nicely."
Angela agreed and called Babs.
"Babs, tell Mark to meet Kathleen at Wally's place at six. He needs to dress up in fancy clothes."
"Do you mean a fancy dress party? " Babs asked.
"Yeah."
Mark was busy helping Babs move some furniture. When he was done, Babs said, "Mark, Kathleen wants you to meet her at a fancy dress party at six at Wally's place."
"What's a fancy dress party?" Mark asked.
"A party where you dress up as a character ."
"Oh, a costume party ."
Mark left and went to the Costume Palace and rented a Zorro suit. He rushed to Wally's house and knocked on the door. Wally came out dressed up in a suit.

某天,海象威利打電話給凱薩琳。
「凱薩琳,我想邀請妳和馬克晚上六點到我家參加派對,要盛裝出席喔!」
「好啊,」凱薩琳回答。
馬克不在家,於是凱薩琳就打電話到他工作的地方。
「哈囉,這是美洲獅安琪拉。」
「嗨,安琪拉!馬克呢?」凱薩琳問。
「他去英國海狸巴布斯家了。」
「你可以轉告他晚上六點在威利家的派對跟我碰面嗎?他需要打扮得體面些。」
安琪拉答應後就致電巴布斯。
「巴布斯,跟馬克說要他晚上六點在威利家的派對跟凱薩琳碰面,他需要打扮得花俏一點。」
「妳說的是『變裝派對』嗎?」巴布斯問。
「沒錯。」
馬克當時正忙著幫巴布斯搬動一些家具,等他忙完,巴布斯說:「馬克,凱薩琳要妳六點在威利家的變裝派對跟她碰面。」
「什麼是變裝派對啊?」馬克問。
「就是角色扮演的派對啊。」
「喔,一個化裝舞會。」
馬克離開後便到「戲服宮殿」租了一套蒙面俠蘇洛裝,然後匆忙趕到威利家,他敲了敲門,威利穿著一套西裝來應門。
「馬克,你穿的是什麼啊?」他問。
馬克朝屋內瞧了瞧,每個人都穿著西裝或禮服... (翻譯:袁星塵)
