在一个风和日丽的下午,一位英国绅士走进了一家咖啡馆。他点了一杯咖啡,并坐在窗边的位置上开始阅读报纸。不久后,他注意到旁边的一位女士正在专心地织毛衣。
绅士对这位女士的专注感到好奇,于是鼓起勇气问道:“请问,您在织什么?”
女士抬起头,微笑着说:“我在织一条围巾。”
绅士点点头,继续问:“那么,这条围巾是给谁的呢?”
女士回答道:“当然是给我自己了。”
绅士愣了一下,然后幽默地说:“哦,那我猜这条围巾一定是为了让您在寒冷的日子里保持温暖吧。”
女士笑着回应:“不,不是这样的。我是为了让自己在寒冷的日子里保持冷静。”
绅士听后哈哈大笑,佩服这位女士的机智。

On a sunny afternoon, a British gentleman walked into a café and ordered a cup of coffee. He sat by the window to read his newspaper. Not long after, he noticed a lady knitting intently nearby.
Curious about her focus, the gentleman gathered his courage and asked, “Excuse me, what are you knitting?”
The lady looked up and smiled, saying, “I’m knitting a scarf.”
The gentleman nodded and asked further, “So, who is this scarf for?”
The lady replied, “It’s for myself, of course.”
The gentleman paused for a moment and then joked, “Oh, I guess this scarf must be to keep you warm on cold days, right?”
The lady responded with a smile, “No, not really. I’m knitting it so that I can stay calm on cold days.”
After hearing this, the gentleman laughed heartily and admired the wit of the lady.
