英文短篇故事（纽约）81 A Thief in the Waiting Room

（单词翻译）

 　　"Where's my jacket? Who stole my jacket? Security!" she shouted. Some people in the pharmacy¹ waiting room turned their heads. "Didn't anyone see anything?" she asked. Nobody spoke². A security guard appeared. He asked her what was wrong. She said she had gone to the ladies' room. She had left her jacket on the chair. Her medicine was in the jacket. When she returned to the waiting room, her jacket was gone. The security guard asked a hospital employee, "Has anyone turned in a jacket?" The employee said no. The guard asked the woman to describe her jacket. He asked for her name and phone number. He said he would call her if the jacket turned up. She said, "Ha! It'll never turn up. They stole my jacket and my medicine in broad daylight. Now I have to stand in line again. Why don't they have security cameras in here?"
