他是一个小老头,皮肤皱缩,瘦得皮包骨头,自己一个人住。大家对他都不太了解,有一天,他得了重感冒,请了医生过来。
while the doctor was examining the old man, he asked, "haven't you a trend who could come in to look after you?" "no, i have no friends--never had any." the old man replied. 给老人检查时,医生问:"你没有朋友来照看你吗?""没有,我没有朋友……一直都没有。 "老人回答。
"what you've lived in this village all your life and never had a friend! " ... "well, i am not ashamed to say that i am passed sixty-four years but i never met anyone i could call a friend for long.
"什么!你在村子里住了一辈子,居然从未有过一个朋友!" "活了64年却没有遇到一个值得长久交往的朋友,我没有什么不好意思地。他们不是这差。 就是那差。 "
