我正在一家餐厅吃晚饭,这时托尼·斯蒂尔走了进来。
I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in.
托尼多年前在一家律师事务所工作,但他现在在一家银行工作。
Tony worked in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank.
他挣着一份丰厚的薪水,但他总是向朋友借钱,却从来不还。
He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back.
Tony 看见了我,走了过来,坐在了同一张桌子旁。
Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table.
他从来没有向我借过钱。
He has never borrowed money from me.
趁他吃饭的时候,我请求他借给我二十英镑。
While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds.
令我惊讶的是,他立刻把钱给了我。
To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately.
"我从来没有向你借过钱,"Tony 说,"所以现在你可以帮我付晚餐的钱了!"
'I have never borrowed any money from you,' Tony said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner!'
