Sold out

原文

"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 ticket 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.

“演出马上就要开始了，”我说。“也许已经开始了，”苏珊回答道。我急匆匆的跑到售票处。“我可以买两张票吗？”我问道。“很抱歉，我们已经售空了，”售票小姐说。“糟糕！”苏珊大声说道。就在这个时候，一个男人急匆匆跑到售票处。“我能退掉这两张票吗？”他问道。“当然可以，”售票小姐说。我马上回到售票处。“我能买这两张票吗？”我问道。“当然可以，”售票小姐说，“但是这个是下个星期三的演出。你真的要吗？” “我想没有更好的选择了，”我垂头丧气的说。
