13·因禍得福
Although my mother,a native of Japan, has lived for 55 years in the United States,she has not adapted complete1y to the cultural change. This is especiallly obvious during her infrequent forays into a large city.
我母親是日本人,她已在美國(guó)生活了55年了,但是,她仍沒(méi)完全適應(yīng)這異國(guó)的文化。當(dāng)她偶爾去一次大城市,這種不適應(yīng)就顯得更明顯了。
One day she boarded a bus in Los Angeles,deposited a $5 bill in the coin box and held out her hand for change.Because the coin box is not built to accept paper money,the bus driver growled:“Okay,lady. If you get that bill out,you can ride for free. Otherwise we're going to have to dis-mantle this coin box."
一天,她在洛杉磯上了一輛會(huì)共汽車。她取出5元的紙幣把它塞進(jìn)了收幣機(jī),然后,她仲出手等著找錢(qián).由于收幣機(jī)不能接收紙幣,所以司機(jī)大聲地吼道:“好了,太大,如果
你能把那紙幣取出來(lái),你今天乘車就免費(fèi)。否則,我們只好拆機(jī)器了。”
My mother hesitated but a moment, then opened her purse,took out a pair of chopsticks,retrieved the bill and smiled as she took her seat.
我母親猶豫了一會(huì)兒,然后打開(kāi)她的手包,拿出了一副筷子,用它把錢(qián)夾了出來(lái)。她面帶著笑容找了個(gè)空座位坐下了。
