Lesson 11 One good turn deserves another
礼尚往来
I was having dinner at a restaurant when Harry Steele came in. Harry worked
in a lawyer's office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good
salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back.
Harry saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed
money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds.
To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. 'I have never borrowed
any money from you,' Harry said, 'so now you can pay for my dinner !'

Lesson 14 Do you speak English?
你会讲英语吗？
I had an amusing experience last year.
After I had left a small village in the
south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved
to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car,
I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.
Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke
during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man
suddenly said, very slowly, 'Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was
English himself!

Lesson 15 Good news
佳音
The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous
when. I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered.
After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the
firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left.
I knew that my turn had come. 'Mr. Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice. 'Don't
interrupt,' he said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra
thousand pounds a year!
