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!

秘書告訴我說哈姆斯沃斯先生要見我。我走進他的辦公室，感到非常緊張。我進去的時候，他連頭也沒抬。待我坐下后，他說生意非常不景氣。他還告訴我，公司支付不起這么龐大的工資開支，有20個人已經(jīng)離去。我知道這次該輪到我了。
“哈姆斯沃斯先生，”我無力地說。
“不要打斷我的話，”他說。
然后他微笑了一下告訴我說，我每年將得到1,000 英鎊的額外收入。secretary n. 秘書
