Lesson 18

After I had had lunch at a village pub, I looked for my bag.
在我于村庄酒馆吃过午饭之后，我寻找我的包。
I had left it on a chair beside the door and now it wasn't there!
我曾把它留在门旁边的椅子上，而现在它不在那儿了！
As I was looking for it, the landlord came in.
当我正在寻找它时，房东进来了。
'Did you have a good meal?' he asked.
“你吃得好吗？”他问道。
'Yes, thank you,' I answered, 'but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag.'
“是的，谢谢你，”我回答道，“但我不能支付账单。我没带我的包。”
The landlord smiled and immediately went out.
房东笑了笑，并立即出去了。
In a few minutes he returned with my bag and gave it back to me.
几分钟后，他带着我的包回来并把它还给了我。
'I'm very sorry,' he said. 'My dog had taken it into the garden. He often does this!'
“我很抱歉，”他说道，“我的狗把它叼到花园里去了。他经常这样做！”
