第9单元 二十一张友善的面孔

 

Yesterday was one of my most challenging days of backpacking ao far. First, a little girl tan up and pinched me! Then, not even five minutes later, some boys made a game out of throwing dirt at me.

 

昨天是我到目前为止徒步旅行最具挑战性的一天。先是有个小女孩跑来捏我一把!然后不到五分钟一些男孩恶作剧对我丢泥土。

 

I was lost and wishes to see a kind face. I spotted¹ a restaurant and went in to rest my feet and fill my belly², but a toothless man who shouted"No tables!" stopped me at the door.

 

我迷了路，想看到一张友善的面孔。我发现了一家餐厅，打算进去歇脚，饱腹一餐，可是有个满口无牙的人大喊，“没有空位!”在门口就挡住我。

 

I peered past him to see a half empty restruant. With the little pride, I had left. I wanted back to the hotel. The following morning, I jumped on a ferry and left the city. During the journey I met a man from Denmark who was travelling with a Vietnamese family of twenty people.

 

我打量他背后，有一半的位子是空的。我感到羞辱转身离开，回到旅馆，第二天早上便搭船离开这个城市。在旅途中，我遇到一个丹麦人，他和二十个人的越南大家族一起旅行。

 

After we exchange stories, he excused himself. Minutes later, he returned smiling and said he and his family would like to take me in for the night. I eargerly accepted and giggled³ thinking I only wished for one kind face, and now I have twenty-one!

 

我们交换彼此的旅途故事，之后他离开片刻，回来时满脸笑意，并说他和他的家人愿意收留我一晚。我热切地接受，暗自窃喜，我当初只是希望看到一张友善的面孔，没想到现在却看到了二十一张!
