单选题 A Frenchman went to stay at the best hotel in a small Italian town with his wife. One night, he went out for a walk alone. The small street was dark and quiet. Suddenly he felt someone behind him. He tamed his head and saw an Italian young man who quickly walked past him. The man was nearly out of sight (看不见了 ) when the French- man suddenly found that his watch was gone. He thought that it must be the Italian who had taken his watch.
