How could anyone stoop so low?
Our manager at the restaurant where I worked was a much beloved, jovial1 man. But there was one subject you didn't dare discuss in front of him -- his height. Or, should I say, his lack of it. One day, he stormed through the door and announced angrily, Someone just picked my pocket! Most of my fellow waitresses and I were speechless, except for the one who blurted2 out, How could anyone stoop so low?
大家的餐厅经理是一位深受大伙爱戴,和蔼而又开心的人。但在他面前有一件事不可以提--他的身高。或者,我应该说,他是有点矮!一天,经理怒气冲冲地撞门而入,高声说,
有人拿了我的钱包!
我和其她大部女招待都没敢吱声,但有人却蹦出一句话:
哪有人能弯腰弯那样低的啊!
