(单词翻译:单击)
At the supermarket near our convent I had filled my cart in a hurry and suddenly had an uneasy feeling that I didn't have enough money to pay for all the goods. In desperation I emptied all the items onto the floor and kneeing down, began to add up the prices.
Just then a young
supervisor1 strolled over,
bent2 down and whispered
confidentially3, "It doesn't matter how hard you pray, sister. We're not reducing the prices."
在我们修道院附近的超市,我急急忙忙地装了满满一推车的东西。突然之间,我有了一种不安的感觉:我带的钱可能不足以支付所有的商品。无可奈何之下,我把所有的东西都摆在地板上,跪下来开始把所有东西的价格加在一起。
正在此时,一个年轻的超市管理员走了过来。他弯下腰,对我耳语道:“修女,无论你怎么费劲祈祷,我们现在都不会降价。”
