An Unpleasant Trip(一次不愉快的旅行)
I went to Changsha for my holiday by train on the night of July 15th,2002. It was so hot in the carriage that many passengers wanted something to drink. Just then, a young man came to deliver water with a water jug in hand. "Water, water. Free water. "shouted the young man.
A middle-aged woman asked for a glass of water and was very grateful to the young man. But after a while, two tall and strong men came to charge her five yuan for that glass of water. The middle-aged woman looked at them and took out a five-yuan note from one of her pockets slowly. Without a word, she handed the note to one of them, her eyes being filled with anger.
The carriage was silent. The two men went away without any sense of shame. "Robbers!" someone said in a low voice.
This was really an unpleasant trip I have ever had!
2002年7月15日晚，我乘火车去长沙度假。由于天气很热，车厢里有很多乘客都想喝水。正好，一个年轻人提着水壶来送水。“水，水，免费供水。”年轻人大声嚷着。
一位中年妇女喝了一杯水，非常感激他。可过了一会儿，来了两个又高又壮的人向她要5元水钱。中年妇女看着他们，慢慢地从兜里掏出了5元纸币给其中一个人。她什么也没说，眼里充满了愤怒。
车厢里一片寂静。那两个人毫无愧色地走了。“强盗!”有人小声说道。
这是我经历过的一次不愉快的旅行。
