“Peter has just come back from the shops,”said Mrs. James. “He wanted to buy some new football boots, but he wasn’t able to find any that were right for him.”
“Were they all the same?”I asked.
“He said they showed him different pairs but he didn’t like any of them.”
“What is Peter going to do about his boots, then?”I asked.
“Well, the shop told him to come back the next week. It’s out a big problem because he doesn’t need to have them before the new school term. But he always begins to get his things ready early. For example, he has never been late for school.”
“My daughter is different,”I said, “I have to throw her out when it’s time for school.”
“彼得刚刚从商店回来，”詹姆斯太太说。“他想买新的足球鞋，但他没能找到适合他的。”
“球鞋款式都一样吗？”我问道。
“他说店员给他看了不同的样式，但他都不喜欢。”
“那么，彼得怎么办呢？”我问。
“嗯，店员告诉他下周再来。这不是个大问题，因为在新学年开始之前，他还不需要球鞋。但他总是提前做准备工作。比如，他从不迟到。”
“我的女儿就不同了，”我说，“每到上学时间我都不得不‘扔’她出去。”
