As I placed my purchases on the grocery store counter, the checker smiled and asked, “A little late, aren't you?” I didn't get what she was talking about at first—until I looked at the items I was buying: an inexpensive pair of reading glasses and a big bag of carrots.
我把要買的東西放在雜貨鋪的收銀臺上,收款員微笑著說:“你是不是有點太晚了?”我開始沒聽明白她說什么,直到看了我所買的東西:一副廉價的老花鏡和一大包胡蘿卜。
