59. A Lost Bag 丟失的皮包
No sooner had the bell rung than a middle-aged man, accompanied by our teacher, walked into the classroom. All of us looked at one another. Questions were written on every face.
上課鈴響了,老師陪著一個中年男子走進來。大家你看我,我看你,一臉的疑惑。
The man stepped onto the stage and said, "I lost my bag on my way to my office two days ago. As I was wondering where I could find it, I received a phonecall. It was a girl, who had picked up my lost bag near a bus-stop and she had found my phone number in the bag.
中年男子走到臺上說:“兩天前我在上班的路上丟了皮包,我正在想該到哪兒去找,有人打電話來。是一個女孩,她在車站附近揀了一個皮包,在包里找到電話號碼,所以給我打電話。
Then I realized I must have lost my bag when I was hurrying to catch the bus. The girl didn't leave until I returned to the bus-stop and got back my bag. But she then left in such a hurry that I had no time to ask her name. I have spent two days visiting the schools nearby. I would like to thank her."
這時我才知道,我在匆忙趕公共汽車時丟了包。直到我趕到車站取回皮包她才離開。她走得太匆忙,我甚至沒來得及問她的姓名。這兩天我走遍了附近的學(xué)校,我要好好謝謝她。”
As he was speaking, our teacher walked to Guanlan Xu and asked her, "Why didn't you tell me the reason when you came to school late the day before yesterday?" At that time, Guanlan had to look up. Before she said anything, the man cried out, "It is her. She is the very person who returned the bag to me!" All the eyes were fixed on Guanlan with appreciation.
當他說話時,老師走到許冠蘭身旁,問道:“你前天遲到時為什么不告訴我原由?”這時冠蘭不得不抬起頭來。沒等她說話,中年男子叫了起來,“是她,就是她把皮包還給我的!”所有的眼光都集中在冠蘭身上,目光中充滿敬佩。
