英里mile[英][maɪl] [美][maɪl] 中英文故事:硬币(2) "我们用这唯一的硬币给500英里以外我的家人打了一个受话者付费的电话,母亲接了 电话。从她的声音中我可以听出家中有了麻烦。她说父亲因病失业了,那个月家里根本没办法给我寄钱。我问室友的钱是否寄出来了。母亲说她跟他的母亲聊过,他家那个月也凑不起钱来给他。双方的父母都很难过,看来我们好像只得辍学回家去。他们之所以迟迟不告诉我们真相,是希望能找出什么解决问题的办法来。 “We used the solitary dime to place a collect call to my home five hundred miles away. My mother an¬swered. I could tell from her voice that something was wrong. She said that my father had been ill and out of work, so there was simply no way they could send any money that month. I asked if my roommate’s check was in the mail. She said that she had talked with his mother. They also couldn’t raise the extra money that month either. They were sorry, but it looked like we’d have to come home. They had put off telling us, hoping for some solution. ” 中英文例句 1. Don't time your first mile. 跑第一英里时不要计时。 2.
