翻译这篇短文，这应该是个笑话，能解释一下吗？

Answer 1

Mr Knott 是名教师。他在伦敦一所学校教书。由于住所离学校很远，通常回到家后感到非常的疲惫。一天夜里的9：00，他正躺在床上，楼下客厅的电话响了，他不得不下楼去接电话。
他拿起电话说：“这里是怀特大街3265号，请问是哪位”
一个男人回答说：“Watt”（音-what，译-什么）
Mr Knott问道：“你的名字”
“我叫 Watt”回答道。
“我就是问你叫什么”Mr Knott又问了一遍。
“我就是Watt”那个人说，“你是杰克 史密斯”
“不，我是 Knott[ 音-not，译--不是]”。Mr Knott 回答道。
“我可以知道你叫什么吗？”Mr Watt问道。
Mr Knott. 回答说：“我是威尔 奥得 ”
最后他们都很懊恼放下了电话，心想：电话那方一定是个粗鲁而愚蠢的人。

原因：双方名字的发音产生了误会。
