"Shouldn't have interfered?" I shouted. "Well, it damn well seemed to me that he needed someone to represent his interests."
“不該干涉？ "我喊道，“在我看來他真的需要有人來替他說話。”
"Someone was representing his interests," he said softly.
“有人為他著想。”他輕聲地說。
"And who might that be?"
“那個(gè)人會(huì)是誰呢？ ”
"The bank."
“銀行。”
I couldn't believe what this idiot was saying. "Look," I concluded, "we're just wasting each other's time. But maybe you'd like to explain exactly how the bank was representing that boy's interests?"
我真的不敢相信這個(gè)白癡會(huì)這么說。”聽著，”我最后說道，“我們只是在浪費(fèi)彼此的時(shí)間。但是也許你愿意詳細(xì)地解釋一下銀行是如何為那個(gè)男孩著想的？”
"Certainly," he said. "We were informed this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking this boy down for more than a month. The other guy was forcing him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was apparently too scared to tell anyone. That's the real reason he was so upset. He was afraid of what the other guy would do to him. Anyway, the police are on the case and they'll probably make an arrest today."
“當(dāng)然可以，”他說，“今天早上我們得到通知，說附近有個(gè)惡棍一個(gè)月以來一直在勒索這個(gè)小男孩。那家伙一直逼著他每周從銀行取錢交給他。這個(gè)可憐的孩子顯然嚇得不敢跟任何人說。那才是他如此不安的真正原因。他害怕那個(gè)家伙會(huì)對(duì)他做出什么。不管怎樣，警察正在著手辦理這個(gè)案子，他們可能會(huì)在今天逮捕那個(gè)家伙。”
"You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?"
“你是說沒有關(guān)于年齡太小而不能從儲(chǔ)蓄賬戶上取錢的規(guī)定？”
"Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?"
“我從未聽說過。先生，現(xiàn)在我們能為您做點(diǎn)什么？”
