聽力原文及翻譯
I went into another large store. As I entered the door, a sudden nervousness took hold of me. I just could not take out that piece of red calico again. If I had had any other kind of clothes, I think I would have asked them if they could match that. But I stepped up to a young woman and presented my sample with the usual question. "Back room counter on the left," she said.
我走進另一家大商店。一進門,我突然緊張起來。我實在是拿不出來那塊紅色印花布了。如果我有其他衣服,我想我會問他們能不能配得上那塊。但我走到一位年輕女士面前,遞上我的樣品,并問了個常見的問題?!昂竺婀衽_在左邊,”她說。
I went there. "Have you any red calico like this?" I asked the saleswoman. "No, sir," she said, "but we have it in Turkey red." Turkey red again! I surrendered. "All right," I said, "give me Turkey red." "How much, sir?" she asked. "I don't know," I said, "15 meters." She looked at me strangely but measured off 15 meters of Turkey's red calico.
我去了那里?!澳銈冇羞@樣的紅色印花布嗎?”我問女售貨員?!皼]有,先生,”她說,“但是我們有土耳其紅的。”又是土耳其紅!我投降了。“好吧,”我說,“給我土耳其紅?!薄岸嗌馘X,先生?”她問?!拔也恢?,”我說,“15米?!彼婀值乜粗?,但還是量了15米的土耳其紅印花布。
Then she touched the counter and called out, "Cash!" A young girl with yellow hair appeared. The woman wrote the number of meters, the name of the goods, her own number, the price, and the amount of money I gave her on a piece of paper.
然后她摸了摸柜臺,喊道:“現(xiàn)金!”一個黃頭發(fā)的年輕女孩出現(xiàn)了。女人在一張紙上寫下了米數(shù)、貨物名稱、她自己的號碼、價格和我給她的錢數(shù)。
She probably wrote some other things like the color of my eyes and the direction and speed of the wind. She then copied all this into a little book. Then she gave the piece of paper, the money, and the Turkey red cloth to the yellow-haired girl. This girl copied the information into a little book she carried, then she went away with the calico, the paper, and the money.
她可能還寫了一些其他的東西,比如我的眼睛的顏色,風向和風速。然后她把這些都抄在一個小本子上。然后她把這張紙、錢和土耳其紅布給了黃頭發(fā)的女孩。這個女孩把這些信息抄在她隨身攜帶的一個小本子上,然后帶著印花布、紙和錢走了。
