在一家乡村小酒馆吃完午饭后,我开始寻找我的包。
After I had had lunch at a village pub, I looked for my bag.
我(之前)把它放在门旁边的一把椅子上,可现在它不在那里了!
I had left it on a chair beside the door and now it wasn't there!
正当我在寻找它的时候,房东走了进来。
As I was looking for it, the landlord came in.
"你吃得好吗?"他问道。
'Did you have a good meal?' he asked.
"是的,谢谢,"我回答道,"但我付不了账。我没带包。"
'Yes, thank you,' I answered, 'but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag.'
房东微笑了一下,立刻出去了。
The landlord smiled and immediately went out.
几分钟后,他带着我的包回来了,并把它还给了我。
In a few minutes he returned with my bag and gave it back to me.
"非常抱歉,"他说。
'I'm very sorry,' he said.
"我的狗把它叼到花园里去了。它经常这样做!"
'My dog had taken it into the garden. He often does this!'
