It could be worse

原文

I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost $50 and I felt very upset. "I left the money in my room," I said, "and it's not there now." The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. "Everyone's losing money these days," he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained $50. "I found this outside this gentleman's room," she said. "Well," I said to the manager. "there is still some honesty in the world!"

译文

我闯进酒店管理人的办公室并坐下。我刚刚丢50美金很懊恼。“我把钱放在房间”，我说，“但是现在不见了。”经理对我深表同情但是无能为力。“每个人每天都会丢钱的，”他说。他开始抱怨这个社会的风气直到被一阵敲门声打算。一个女孩走了进来并把一个信封放在他的桌子上。里面有50美金。“我在这位先生房间外面捡到的。”她说。“很好，”我对管理人说。“这个世界还是有好人的！”
