原文如下：
I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me.
我终于到了伦敦。火车站很大，又黑又暗。我不知道去饭店的路该怎么走，于是向一个搬运工打听。我的英语讲得不但非常认真，而且咬字也非常清楚。然而搬运工却不明白我的话。我把问话重复了很多遍。他终于听懂了。
I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that!
他回答了，但他讲得既不慢也不清楚。“我是个外国人，”我说。于是他说得慢了，可我还是听不懂。我的老师从来不那样讲英语！我和搬运工相视一笑。接着，他说了点什么，这回我听懂了。“您会很快学会英语的！”他说。
The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?
我感到奇怪。在英国，人们各自说着一种不同的语言。英国人之间相互听得懂，可我却不懂他们的话！他们说的是英语吗？

此文出自《新概念英语第二册第六课》
课文解析：
1、I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street. 我刚刚搬进了大桥街的一所房子。
move常用的意义是“动”、“移动”。在这句话里它的意思是“搬家”、“迁移”，为不及物动词。在表达“搬家”这个意思时move可以单独使用，也可以组成短语move to, move into, move in, move out等。
2、He asked me for a meal and a glass of beer. (他问)我要一顿饭和一杯啤酒。在表示请求时，可以用ask+sb.+for+sth.，也可以直接用ask for。
3、in return for this 作为报答，作为交换。in return可以单独使用，也可以加介词for说明原因。
4、Later a neighbour told me about him. 后来，一位邻居告诉了我他的情况。介词about可以和一些动词连用，以表示“关于……(的)”、“涉及……(的)”。
