第19單元 駕照
When I went to get my driver's license, the motor-vehicle bureau was very busy. I stood in line for overtwo hours before the man in front of me made it tothe counter.
我去領(lǐng)駕照時,監(jiān)理處剛好很忙;差不多排隊等了兩個多小時,才輪到排我前面那個人和柜臺接洽。
The man looked at his photo for a moment and saidto the clerk," I was standing in line so long, I endedup looking pretty grouchy in this picture."
那個人看了一會兒他的照片,對辦事員說:“我因為排隊站太久,所以這張照片看起來表情很不高興。”
The clerk looked at his picture closely, and smiled, "It's okay. That's how you're going to lookwhen the cops pull you over anyway."
辦事員仔細(xì)看了一下他的照片,微笑道:“沒差啦,反正你被警察攔到路邊時也會是那個表情。”
