49.按规定办
One day I retrieved an“Attempt to Deliver Package"slip from my mail box. The letter carrier had just left,so I caught up to him and asked for the parcel.
有一天,我从信箱里取出一个纸条,上面写着:“试投包裹单。”邮递员已经走了,但我还是追上了他,向他要包裹。
"I didn't bring it,"he replied. "I just brought along the slip."
“我没带来,”他说,“我只是给你捎了个单子.”
"You're supposed to try to deliver the package. "I said."Please bring it tomorrow.“
“你应该负责送包裹吧,”我说:“那你明天带我把它带来吧。"
“可以”他告诉我,“但是你得在上午九点之前给邮局打个电话,再提醒一下这事.”
"Okay,”he told me,"but first make sure that you call the post office before 9 a. m..”
“我现丰就去打。”
"I'll phone them right now.”
“现在可不行。”他说。
"You can't,"he said.
“为什么?”
" Why not?"
“因为,你打电话找的是我,而我现在不在邮局.”
"Because you have to talk to me,and I'm not there."
