Mr. Carr started to go to the phone. Alfred's fear made him raise his voice. He wanted to show he was afraid of nobody. He acted this way every time he got into trouble. This had happened many times since he left school. At such times he always spoke in a loud voice, as he did tonight. "Just a minute," he said to Mr. Carr. "You don' t have to get anybody else into this. You don't have to tell her." Alfred tried to sound big, but deep down he was like a child. He hoped that someone at home would come quickly to save him. But Mr. Carr was already talking to his mother. He told her to come to the store in a hurry.
卡尔先生准备去打电话。因为恐惧,艾尔弗雷德提高了音量。他想以此显示他谁也不怕。每当他碰上麻烦时,他都这么做。自从他离开学校后他经常闯祸。每次遇到这种情况,他就拉大嗓门说话,今晚也不例外。“稍等一下,”他对卡尔先生说,“你没必要把别人扯进来。你没必要告诉她。”艾尔弗雷德说话时努力想使自己显得像个大人,可内心里他却像个孩子。他希望家里很快有人来救他。这时卡尔先生已在和他的母亲通话了。他让她赶紧到店里来。
