An Unpleasant Experience

沈青

It was during a weekend. Mum gave me two tickets for a film and told me she was too busy with the endless housework to go with me . She told me to keep the money if I could sell the extra ticket. I was very happy, of course . At that time , a ticket only cost 20 fen . But to me, a little girl of 12,20 fen seemed quite a lot.

I reached the cinema in a great hurry. Holding the ticket in my hand, I began to look for a buyer. A handsome young man noticed me and the ticket in my hand. He came towards me with a big smile, “You＇ve got an extra ticket?”

“Yes,”I nodded .

“That＇s great . Say , how much?”

“Twenty fen.”

“ Oh ,”he thought for a while and then took out a ten-yuan note from his wallet.

“I＇m very sorry, but I＇ve only got this note.” Seeing I was confused① , he added, “Then, how about waiting for a while and I＇ll give you the money after I have changed it in the cinema＇s store?”

Without much thinking, I agreed. Then we went to the cinema together. He walked fast. I could hardly keep up with him. By and by, he left me further and further behind. Soon he disappeared in the Gents②. I stood there without knowing what to do. Suddenly I seemed to realize the handsome young fellow had cheated me. He had saved twenty fen, but lost his honour.

【寫(xiě)法指要】

1）本文是一篇敘述過(guò)去某時(shí)發(fā)生的一件事的文章，所以我們把它稱(chēng)為過(guò)去記敘文（past narration）。文章通過(guò)敘事和對(duì)話(huà)，把人物的活動(dòng)描寫(xiě)得活靈活現(xiàn)，我們好像在看一段電影剪輯。

2）文中有不少體現(xiàn)人物性格的好的表達(dá)，如“in a great hurry”,“with a big smile”,“That＇s great. Say, how much?”,“without much thinking”,“without knowing what to do”,“He had saved twenty fen, but lost his honour.”
