Question

【題目】George was head of an African country. He was going to pay a visit to the USA. He decided to learn some English words so that he might greet Bill Clinton, president of the USA then, in English. So he asked his wife for help because she knew a little English. His wife told, “When you meet Mr. President, just greet him with “How are you”, and he may answer ‘I am fine’. Then you need only to say ‘Me, too’, and leave the rest to your interpreter(口譯).”

When his plane landed at the airport, George said to the smiling Clinton, “Who are you?”. This was quite unexpected to the president and surprised him greatly. But he quickly calmed() down. Still with a smile on his face, he answered, “I am Hillary’s husband.” To his reply, George answered back without a moment “Me, too”, and looked at the president’s wife, Hillary, smiling sweetly as well.
