Lesson 3 Rope《绳》by Katherine Anne Porter(6)

黄源深English Book7 第3课 Lesson Three Rope的部分译文

But she was a little disappointed about the coffee, and oh, look, look, look at the eggs! Oh, my, they're all running! What had he put on top of them? Hadn't he known eggs mustn't be squeezed? Squeezed, who had squeezed them, he wanted to know. What a silly thing to say. He had simply brought them along in the basket with the other things. If they got broke it was the grocer's fault. He should know better than to put heavy things on top of eggs.

不过，她对喝不上咖啡有一点儿失望，啊呀，瞧，瞧，瞧那些鸡蛋！啊呀，天啊，蛋都碎啦！他把什么摆在鸡蛋上面来着？难道他不知道鸡蛋是压不得的吗？压，谁压它们来着，他倒想要知道。说这种话的人真蠢。他只是把鸡蛋跟别的东西一起放在篮子里提回来。蛋要是压碎了的话，那是食品商的过错。他应该懂得不要把重东西压在鸡蛋上面。
