英语短文
忘了是初中学过还是高中学的了.故事发生在一栋公寓里.楼上的男人每天工作到很晚才回家,他总是把皮靴重重扔到地上,然后才睡觉.楼下的住户总是在深夜被皮靴声吵醒,一段时间过去了.楼下的住户实在受不了.于是给楼上的男人交涉,楼上的男人保证晚上不再弄出响声.第二天晚上,当男人回家后,惯性的把靴子扔到地上,他突然想到了自己楼下的邻居,于是,轻轻的把第二只靴子放在地上.然后睡下了.大约过了一个小时,楼下的住户敲开了楼上男人的门,楼下住户很气愤的说道：你快把另一只鞋子扔了吧,不然没法睡觉了..
大体情节如此,若谁知道这个故事的名字请告诉下.最好是贴上英文.谢谢.

Answer 1

wait for the other shoe to drop
A man comes in late at night to a lodging house,rather the worse for wear.He sits on his bed,drags one shoe off and drops it on the floor.Guiltily remembering everyone around him trying to sleep,he takes the other one off much more carefully and quietly puts in on the floor.He then finishes undressing and gets into bed.Just as he is drifting off to sleep,a shout comes from the man in the room below:“Well,drop the other one then!I can’t sleep,waiting for you to drop the other shoe!”.
