Letter three
第三封信
The checkout assistant at my usual supermarket is always rude and unhelpful.
我常去的那家超市的收銀員很粗魯，不予幫助。
A few days ago, I gave her a fifty-pound note to pay for a six-pound purchase,
幾天前，我給了她五十英鎊，用來支付六英鎊的商品。
but she was so busy grumbling that she accidentally gave mean extra ten-pound note in my change.
但是她不停地發牢騷，她找零時不小心多給了我十英鎊。
On discovering the error, I went back and tried to tell her. 'Excuse me,' I said.
一發現這個錯誤，我馬上就回去找她，想要告訴她。“對不起，”我說。
However, before I could continue, she barked, 'Can't you see there's a queue? Go to the end and wait your turn.'
然而，在我繼續說下去之前，她大叫道，“你不知道要排隊嗎？去排隊。”
That did it! I left the shop with the ￡10 and a clear conscience.
夠了！我拿著那十英鎊離開商店，問心無愧。
I had meant to correct the error before leaving, but she would not let me. On the other hand...
我本打算在離開前糾正錯誤的，但是她不讓我這樣做。另一方面……
