Lesson 19 Sold out票已售完
'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.
'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.
I hurried to the ticket office. 'May I have two tickets please?' I asked.
'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.
'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed.
Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.
'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said.
I went back to the ticket office at once.
'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.
'Certainly,' the girl said, 'but they're for next Wednesday's performance. Do you still want them?'
'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.

“也許已經(jīng)開演了呢，”蘇珊回答說。

“對(duì)不起，票已售完。”那位姑娘說。
“真可惜！”蘇珊大聲說。
正在這時(shí)，一個(gè)男子匆匆奔向售票處。
“我可以退掉這兩張票嗎？”他問。
“當(dāng)然可以，”那姑娘說。
我馬上又回到售票處。
