本文為一篇記敘文,按照事件發(fā)生的先后順序?qū)懗?。講述銀行發(fā)生的一件事情,主人公為一個(gè)小孩報(bào)打不平,更加強(qiáng)自己對(duì)銀行的偏見,后來(lái)才發(fā)現(xiàn)原來(lái)是官方的保護(hù)才這么做的。
Hints:
有引號(hào)
The boy looked destroyed. Silently, he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.
The officer turned to me. "You know," he said, "you really shouldn't have interfered."
"Shouldn't have interfered?" I shouted. "Well, it damn well seemed to me that he needed someone to represent his interests."
"Someone was representing his interests," he said softly.
"Who might that be?"
"The bank."
I couldn't believe what this idiot was saying. "Look," I concluded, "we're just wasting each other's time. But maybe you'd like to explain exactly how the bank was representing that boy's interests? "
那男孩看起來(lái)是很受打擊。他靜靜地把存折放進(jìn)后口袋然后走出了銀行。
那個(gè)銀行職員轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身來(lái)對(duì)我說(shuō):“你知道,”他說(shuō),“你真不應(yīng)該管這件事的?!?“不應(yīng)該管?”我大聲吼道?!霸谖铱磥?lái)這男孩需要有人來(lái)維護(hù)他的權(quán)益。
“已經(jīng)有人在維護(hù)他的權(quán)益了,”他溫和地說(shuō)。
“這個(gè)人是誰(shuí)?”
“銀行?!?我不能相信這個(gè)笨蛋居然說(shuō)出這樣的話。“這樣,”我說(shuō),“我們現(xiàn)在都在浪費(fèi)對(duì)方的時(shí)間?;蛟S你可以解釋清楚銀行是如何維護(hù)男孩的權(quán)益。
