01 A Private Conversation¶
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!'
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，我实在忍无可忍，又一次回过头去，生气地说："我一个字也听不见了！" "这不关你的事，"那男的毫不客气地说，"这是私人间的谈话！"
