失信的裁缝
My friend Jim called to invite me to his wedding the next Sunday.I was very excited because we had not seen each other for several months.I thought this would be a great chance for us to have a good chat.Besides,I had heard that this girl friend was very beautiful and I couldn't wait to see how beautiful she was.
我的朋友吉姆打电话过来,邀请我参加他下周日的婚礼。我很兴奋,因为我们几个月不见了。我想这会是我们好好聊一聊的一个好机会。我听说他的女朋友很漂亮,我等不及想看看她有多漂亮。
But unfortunately,I had no proper clothes for the wedding.So the next morning I went to a tailor's and asked the tailor if it would be possible for him to make me a black suit before Saturday.He promised that it would be no problem.He took my measurements and asked me to pick up the suit on Friday afternoon.When I got there on my way home from work on Friday,the tailor said he had not made my suit because he could not find my measurements.I was so angry that I yelled at him.He tried to calm me down,saying that he would work all through the night and promised to have it ready by the next noon.I couldn't trust him any more.So I rushed to a shopping mall and bought a readymade one.
但是,不幸的是,我没有合适的衣服可以参见婚礼。所以第二天早上,我去裁缝店,问裁缝他是否能在星期六之前帮我做一套黑色的西装。他承诺说没问题。他给我量了尺寸,叫我星期五下午去拿。星期五,当我下班走在回家的路上时,那位裁缝跟我说我的西装还没做,因为他找不到我的尺寸。我很生气,以致于我对他大喊大叫。他试着让我冷静下来,说他会连夜赶工,在第二天中午之前做好。我不能再相信他了。所以我冲去购物中心,买了一套现成的西装。
