　　聽起來很成功，為什么你說仍然是個噩夢?

　　Well, the air line lost my luggage on the return flight and then I lost my carry on bag when I was tackling with the officers in charge. I left the airport three hours later than I expected and then I was caught in a traffic jam. When I finally got home, I was totally exhausted. But I found the elevator was out of service due to a blackout.

　　額，在返程班機上，航空公司把我的行李弄丟了，然后我在和主管人員談話時，我的手提包丟失了。我比預期的還要晚3個鐘頭離開機場，接著我遇到交通阻塞。當我最終到家時，我筋疲力盡了。但是我發(fā)現(xiàn)電梯由于斷電不能工作。

　　This is really a sad story. Did they trace back your luggage?

　　情況真是糟糕。他們找回你的行李了嗎?
