One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Avenue,when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks. I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye,and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old came forward. “What can I do for you,sir?”“I wish to buy a pair of socks.” His eyes glowed. There was a note of passion in his voice. “Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks?”I had not been aware of that,as my entrance had been accidental. “Come with me,” said the boy,ecstatically. I followed him to the rear of the shop,and he began to haul down from the shelves box after box,displaying their contents for my delectation.
一個(gè)晴朗的下午我沿著第五大道走著,當(dāng)我記得一定要買一雙襪子的時(shí)候,我看到第一家襪子店吸引了我的注意力并拐了進(jìn)去,然后一個(gè)不超過(guò)17歲的男孩職員走過(guò)來(lái)。“我能為您做什么,先生?”“我想買一雙襪子。”他的眼睛閃閃發(fā)光。從他的聲音里發(fā)出一種吸引注意的激情。“您知道您來(lái)到了世界上最好的地方買襪子嗎?“我沒(méi)有意識(shí)到我的進(jìn)入是這么的偶然。“跟我來(lái)。”男孩心醉神迷地說(shuō)道。我跟著他走進(jìn)他后面的商店,他開(kāi)始從貨架上拿下一個(gè)又一個(gè)盒子后,為我的挑選而打開(kāi)里面的東西。
