In today's episode we learn an anecdote about the American tourists who once met the Queen and had no idea who she was. Here's the story. 

Key Vocabulary:
An anecdote   /ˈanɪkdəʊt/   noun  = a short, interesting story about a real incident or person.
To play a prank on someone = To carry out a trick, deception, or practical joke on someone.
To pull someone's leg  =  to deceive someone playfully; tease someone.
Cantankerous	/kanˈtaŋk(ə)rəs/ adjective   = bad-tempered, argumentative, and uncooperative.
To be a fly on the wall =  you would like to hear what will be said or see what will happen while not being noticed

Former Royal Protection Officer, Richard Griffin said he and the Queen met the American hikers one day while they were walking near Balmoral Castle, her holiday home in Scotland.
"The Queen would always stop and say hello," Griffin said. "And it was clear from the moment we first stopped that they hadn't recognized the Queen."
Griffin said one of the Americans asked the Queen where she lived.
"She said, 'Well I live in London, but I've got a holiday home near here,"' Griffin recalled. 
The hiker then asked if she had ever met Queen Elizabeth.
"Well I haven't, but Richard here meets her regularly," the Queen replied.
The hiker then turned to Griffin and asked: "Oh, you've met the Queen? What's she like?"
"I decided to pull her leg, so I said, 'she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour".
The American then got his camera out, and gave it to the Queen, asking if she could take a picture of him with the royal protection officer. "Then we swapped places and I took a picture of them with the Queen and we waved goodbye". "The Queen said to me, 'I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows those photographs to their friends —  hopefully someone tells him who I am.'"

我的第一号、第二号作品的不成功，使我泄了气。
I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two.
这些大人们，靠他们自己什么也弄不懂，还得老是不断地给他们作解释。这真叫孩子们腻味。
Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

后来，我只好选择了另外一个职业，我学会了开飞机，
So then I chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes.


世界各地差不多都飞到过。的确，地理学帮了我很大的忙。
I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me.
我一眼就能分辨出中国和亚里桑那。
At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona.
要是夜里迷失了航向，这是很有用的。
If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.


这样，在我的生活中，我跟许多严肃的人有过很多的接触。
In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence.

我在大人们中间生活过很长时间。
I have lived a great deal among grown-ups.
我仔细地观察过他们，但这并没有使我对他们的看法有多大的改变。
I have seen them intimately, close at hand.And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.
当我遇到一个头脑看来稍微清楚的大人时，
Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted,


我就拿出一直保存着的我那第一号作品来测试测试他。
I tried the experiment of showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept.


我想知道他是否真的有理解能力。
I would try to find out, so, if this was a person of true understanding.
可是，得到的回答总是：“这是顶帽子。”
But, whoever it was, he, or she, would always say: “That is a hat.”
我就不和他谈巨蟒呀，原始森林呀，或者星星之类的事。
Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or primeval forests, or stars.

我只得迁就他们的水平，和他们谈些桥牌呀，高尔夫球呀，政治呀，领带呀这些。
I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge,and golf, and politics, and neckties.
于是大人们就十分高兴能认识我这样一个通情达理的人。
And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.

小王子第二章：通情达理之人

I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Listening Expert Cara Leopold with Leo Listening. This time, we talk about how to get used to different accents and speaking speeds and motivate yourself to learn a language for work or school even if you don't want to. You'll also learn what to do if your language learning has stalled, bad habits language learners pick up when learning a language in a traditional classroom setting, reductions and linking, and how to improve your English skills by joining a movie club. Here are a couple of excerpts from our conversation: "The irony is that it's usually the words that you already know that cause the most problems." "People resent it (the English language), and I understand that because it's imposed on a lot of people, and obviously, we can't expect everyone to be excited about learning it. So I totally understand those feelings, which are valid. I think then, if you can't get excited about English, what can you get excited about? What interests you, in general?"
