英语幽默小故事带翻译:Good deed 做好事(中英双语)
126.Good deed
126.做好事
On a street near my workplace,I noticed a meter maid happily writing tickets for a whole line of cars parked at expired meters. As she deposited $10 tickets on one windshield after another,I felt called to do a good deed. I deposited a quarter in the last meter in the row,thus saving a fellow driver the price of a ticket.
一次,在我工作地点附近的一条街上,我看到一个检查路旁计时器的小姐高兴地给一排汽车逐辆地开着超时罚款单。当她一张接一张地往汽车雨刷下的玻璃上塞罚单时,我觉得这时该我做点好事了。于是,我往这一排最后一台自动计时器里扔了25美分。这样,这辆汽车的司机就可以省下罚款钱了。
Feeling rather pleased with myself,I headed for my office.I couldn't resist turning back in hopes of seeing the meter maid's reaction when she saw that the red flag was no longer showing on that meter. When she reached the last car in the line,she reached into her purse,pulled out her keys,got into the car I had "rescued"and drove away.
我为自己的行为感到特别高兴,开始往工作的地点走,一边走一边禁不住地想回头看。看看当那位检查小姐见不到这个计时器上的红旗时会有什么反应。终于,那位小姐来到了最后一辆车前。她伸手在她的提包里翻,翻出了一串钥匙,用其中的一把打开了车门,钻进了我“搭救”的那辆车,开走了。
