承诺的英文音标 承诺 promise [英]['prɒmɪs] [美][ˈprɑmɪs] 中英文小故事：年轻人的承诺 一个年轻人在逛超市，他看到一个老太太一直跟着他走。他忽略了她一会儿，但是当他到了结账的时候，她站在他面前了。 “对不起，” 她说：“我很抱歉，我一直盯着你看，但是，你看起来很像我刚刚去世的儿子。” “我很抱歉，”年轻人回答说：“我可以为您做点什么吗？” “嗯，当我离开的时候，你可以说一声‘再见，妈妈！’吗？那会让我感觉好多了。” 她给了他一个甜蜜的微笑。 “当然可以！”年轻人承诺。 当她要把她的东西拿走，年轻人喊道：“再见，妈妈！”正如她要求的那样，她露出了微笑。 年轻人走进柜台，他看到了比他要买的东西多出大约100美元的东西。 “这个数量是错误的，”他说：“我只要了几样东西！” “哦，你妈妈说，你会为她付钱的！”店员解释说。 Walking through a supermarket, a young man noticed an old lady following him around. He ignored her for a while, but when he got to the checkout line, she got in front of him. "Pardon me," she said. "I'm sorry if I've been staring, but you look just like me son who died recently." "I'm sorry for your loss," the young man replied. "Is there anything I can do for you?" "Well, as I'm leaving, could you just say 'Goodbye, mother!?' It would make me feel so much better." She gave him a sweet smile. "Of course I can," the young man promised. As she gathered her bags and left, he called out "Goodbye, mother!" just as she had requested, feeling good about her smile. Stepping up to the counter, he saw that his total was about $100 higher than it should be. "That amount is wrong," he said. "I only have a few items!" "Oh, your mother said that you would pay for her," explained the clerk. |
