64. Look at Peter's Room 檢查彼得的房間
It was said that Peter's room was always in a mess. In fact, it was the messiest among the boys' rooms. However, it looked neat and in order whenever we got there.
據(jù)說彼得的房間總是很亂,事實上,它是男生宿舍里最糟糕的,然而,我們每次去檢查,他的房間看上去整潔有序.
So we decided to use an unexpected way to find out the truth. One day we went to Peter's room with a ladder. Before we knocked on the door, one of us stepped onto the ladder and had a look from the upper window.
于是我們決定使用不尋常的辦法查出真相。一天,我們帶了一個梯子去彼得的房間。敲門前,一個人爬上梯子從門上的窗戶往里看.
What a mess! Peter's things were lying all over the room: on the chair, on the table, under the bed, even on the floor. Peter was sitting on the ground, repairing his tape recorder, while his friend was jumping up and down on his bed.
真亂啊!彼得的東西扔得滿屋都是,椅子上、桌子上、床底下、甚至地板上。彼得正坐在地上修理收音機,他的朋友在床上跳來跳去。
As we knocked at the door, Peter cleared up the mess just by putting all the things under his bed. Peter was too ashamed to say a word after we entered his room and brought his trick to light. He promised to keep his room in order as much as possible after that.
聽到敲門聲,彼得將所有的東西都清理到床底下,我們進屋之后就戳穿了他的伎倆,彼得羞愧得無話可說。他表示今后一定盡可能保持房間整齊。
