But the Chinese did!
One day Mr. Tom said to one of his friends, “I’m going to have a holiday in Beijing. But I don’t speak Chinese, so I’ll go to evening classes and have Chinese lessons for a month before I go.”
He studied very hard for a month, and then his holidays began and he went to China.
When he came back a few weeks later his friend said to him, “Did you have any trouble with your Chinese when you were in Beijing, Tom?”
“No, I didn’t have any trouble with it,” answered Mr. Tom, “But the Chinese did!”
倒是中国人碰到麻烦

“没有，我的汉语一点麻烦也没有，”汤姆先生说，“倒是中国人碰到了麻烦！”
