我先去了杂货店买了些东西,然后把崭新的笔记本电脑放到我全新的时髦背包里,之后就去了银行。
A small crowd gathered as my friend explained my predicament to bank officials and they asked to see my documents and computer. I unzipped my backpack, pulled out the laptop and found it was covered with a strange gooey mess that was dripping everywhere.
在我的朋友向银行人员解释我的困境时,有几个银行职员围过来,要求查看我的证件和电脑。我拉开背包拉链,拿出笔记本电脑,发现上面覆盖着一个破碎的鸡蛋,蛋液滴得到处都是。
I realized then that I hadn't removed a bag of eggs from my bag before putting the laptop in. As a large omelette formed on the floor and people rushed about with mops, I blushed with embarrassment.
我意识到,在把笔记本电脑放进背包以前,有一袋鸡蛋在里面没有拿出来。地板上滴了一大片蛋液,好像在煎鸡蛋饼一样。人们拿着拖把冲了上去,我红着脸,十分尴尬。
On another recent occasion, I got in the lift to my apartment with anattractive Australian lady. Feeling quite the urbane expatriate, I struck up a conversation with her during the elevator ride. We both got out and she headed for her apartment, which was opposite mine.
最近还有一次,我与一位迷人的澳大利亚女士一起乘坐公寓的电梯。在电梯间里我和她搭话,感觉自己真是个彬彬有礼、机智从容的外国人。我们一起下了电梯,她走向自己的公寓——就在我的对面。
