（单词翻译:单击）

    A policeman noticed an old lady standing1 on a street corner during a sudden windstorm. She was bracing2 herself byholding a light post with one hand, and she was holding her hat snugly3 against her head with her other hand.
    Unfortunately, a strong gust4 blew her dress upward, and itcontinued to flap in the wind, exposing her privates foreveryone to see.
    The policeman asked, "Hey Lady, everybody is taking a lookat what you've got. Don't you think that pulling your dress down is more important than worrying about your hat?""Look, sonny,.... What these people are looking at is 85years old...But this frigging hat is BRAND NEW!"
