"戏随时可能开始，"我说。
'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.
"也许已经开始了，"苏珊回答说。
'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.
我急忙赶到售票处。
I hurried to the ticket office.
"请给我两张票好吗？"我问道。
'May I have two tickets please?' I asked.
"对不起，票已经卖完了，"那个女孩说。
'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.
"真遗憾！"苏珊惊叹道。
'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.
就在那时，一个男人急匆匆地赶到售票处。
Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.
"我可以退这两张票吗？"他问道。
'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
"当然可以，"那个女孩说。
'Certainly,' the girl said.
我立刻返回售票处。
I went back to the ticket office at once.
"请问我可以要那两张票吗？"我问道。
'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.
"当然可以，"那个女孩说，"但是这两张是下周三演出的。你还要吗？"
'Certainly,' the girl said, 'but they're for next Wednesday's performance. Do you still want them?'
"那我就要了吧，"我无奈地说。
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.
