A private conversation
📐[Practice] ✏️[Exercise] 📖[Classic Textbook] 📝[Notes]




Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. ‘I can't hear a word!' I said angrily. ‘It's none of your business, ' the young man said rudely. ‘This is a private conversation!'

Translation

上星期我去看戏。我的座位很好,戏很有意思,但我却无法欣赏。 一青年男子与一青年女子坐在我的身后, 大声地说着话。我非常生气,因为我听不见演员在说什么。 我回过头去怒视着那一男一女,他们却毫不理会。 最后, 我忍不住了, 又一次回过头去, 生气地说:“我一个字也听不见了!” “不关你的事,” 那男的毫不客气地说,“这是私人间的谈话!”
