119.Fashion
119.赶时髦
At the bank where I was employed as a teller we were not allowed to eat while working. But one day,five months pregnant,I was ravenous. I opened a bag of potato chips and started to devour them. Just then I spotted one of our best customers and his wife heading my way. Quickly, I wiped my mouth and greeted them. As I processed their transaction,I noticed they were looking at me oddly.
在银行我做出纳员,这里规定工作时不许吃东西。但有一天,我因怀孕五个月有点嘴馋,打开了一包土豆片,开始偷吃起来。这时,我看见一个熟悉的顾客和他的妻子朝我的窗口走来。我匆忙地擦了一下嘴,向他们打了个招呼。当我在给他们办理业务时,我注意到他们一直用一种异样的目光看着我。
On their way out, the man said,“I don't understand these young people.”
在他们往外走的路上,那个男的说:“我真搞不懂这些年轻人。’,
"Dear,that's a fashion statement,”his wife explained."It's a new type of brooch.”
“亲爱的,那是新潮。”他的妻子说;“那是一种新型的胸针饰物。”
I looked down to see what could have caused such controversy. To my horror,a large potato chip was resting neatly on my left shoulder.
我低头上下打量了一下我自己,想找到是什么东西引起了他们这样说我。使我大吃一惊的是,一大块土豆片稳稳当当地落在我的左肩上。
