A PERSON OF GREAT DETERMINATION
一个意志坚强的人
Jane and Kate are leaving the swimming pool.
简和凯特正要离开游泳池。
JANE: See you next Friday.
简： 下星期五见。
KATE: Next Friday? Why, what's happening? I'm going away for the weekend.
凯特：下星期五？嗨，到底有什么事情？我要外出度周末。
JANE: But you said you'd come out to dinner with me. We fixed it.
简： 但你说过你愿意出来和我共进晚餐的。我们已经决定了的。
KATE: No, we didn't fix anything. We thought we might go out, but we said we'd check with each other first. And now I'm telling you I can't manage this Friday. Another time, possibly, but not Friday.
凯特：不，我们没有决定任何事情。我们认为我们可能出去，但我们说好要先互相通通气的。我正要告诉你我星期五没办法（出来）。换个时间还有可能，但不要在星期五。
JANE: You don't keep your word. Why didn't you tell me then? I've been looking forward to it. How can you change your mind at last minute?
简： 你不守信用。为什么那时不告诉我呢？我一直都盼望着它呢。你怎么能在最后时刻改变主意呢？
KATE: I'm sorry about that.
凯特：这件事我很报歉。
JANE: You just don't consider anyone but yourself.
简： 你除了自己外从不为别人考虑。
KATE: That's not true. I don't want to argue about it any more. Anyhow, I'll see you next week.
凯特：不是这样的。我不想为这件事再和你争吵。无论如何，我下星期会见你的。
A fortnight later.
两星期后。
JANE: Kate, I'm sorry about that argument. I apologize for being so angry with you.
简： 凯特，那次争吵我很抱歉。我为跟你发火向你道歉。
KATE: You were very angry!
凯特：你火气真大！
JANE: Yes, I'm sorry about that. I think we just had a misunderstanding about the plan, but I was very disappointed not to be going out. So I got angry and started shouting at you.
简： 是的，那件事我很抱歉。我想我们只是对于外出计划有误解罢了，不过没能外出我很失望。所以我就生气了，开始冲你大喊大叫。
KATE: You certainly did! 凯特：你吼得好凶呀！
JANE: I'm sorry to have done that. I didn't mean to be so rude.
简： 我为那样做感到抱歉。我并不想那样粗鲁的。
KATE: It doesn't matter.
凯特：没关系。
JANE: I feel rather ashamed.
简： 我感到很不好意思。
KATE: There's no need for that. We'll have dinner another time.
凯特：不必为那件事惭愧。我们改个时间再共进晚餐吧。
JANE: Thanks, I'd like that.
简： 谢谢，我非常乐意。
Many years ago I walked into a bookstore in Cincinnati in search of some books that I wanted.
很多年以前，我走进辛
辛那提市一家书店，寻找几本我想买的书。
While I was there, a young boy of about twelve came in to ask whether they had any geography books for sale.
我在那里的时候，一个约12岁的小男孩走进店来问是否有地理书卖。
be ahead of me if I don't get one. Besides, my father was a sailor, and I want to know about all the places he used to go to.this money and buy yourself some more books.后他转向船上的全体乘客，大声说道，
