Sold out
原文
When will the writer see the play?
'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.
'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.
I hurried to the ticket office.
'May I have two tickets please?' I asked.
'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.
'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.
Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.
'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said.
I went back to the ticket office at once.
'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said,
'but they're for next Wednesday's performance.
Do you still want them?'
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
译文
作者什么时候能看到这部剧呢？
“演出随时可能开始，”我说。
“可能已经开始了，”苏珊回答。
我赶紧跑向售票处。
“请给我两张票，好吗？”我问。
“很抱歉，票已经卖完了，”女孩说。
“真遗憾！”苏珊感叹道。
就在这时，一个男人匆匆跑到了售票处。
“我可以退掉这两张票吗？”他问道。
“当然可以，”女孩回答。
我立刻又回到了售票处。
“请把那两张票给我，好吗？”我问。
“当然可以，”女孩说道。
但这是下周三演出的票。
你还要吗？
“那我就要了吧，”我沮丧地说。
