Mr Smith has a nice, brown coat. He loves it a lot. But his wife doesn’t like it because it’s old. She often says, “Give it to poor man.” But Mr Smith says, “No, I like this coat.”
史密斯先生有一件漂亮的棕色外套,他非常喜欢它。但是他的妻子不喜欢,因为它是旧的。她经常说,“把它送给穷人吧。”但是史密斯先生说:“不,我喜欢这件衣服。”
But one day, a cigarette falls on it and makes a hole in it. So Mrs Smith says, “Please don’t wear it again.” Mr Smith takes it to a tailor’s shop and says to the tailor, “Please make another coat like this one.” The tailor does what he is told him and makes a new coat. Then the tailor makes a hole in it again with his cigarette in the same place.
但是一天,一只香烟把这件衣服烧了一个洞。于是史密斯太太说:“请不要再穿它了。”史密斯先生把它拿到了一个裁缝店对裁缝说:“请给我做一件与这件一模一样的外套。”裁缝按照他说的做了一件新外套。然后裁缝又用香烟在同一个地方烧了一个洞。
