那时我还在读初中,母亲开有一家蛋糕店,每隔三天便会去十公里外的镇上摆摊。母亲说最近遇上一件可笑的事,每次她去镇上,便会来一衣着简陋的老人,负着手在摊前东瞅西看,似乎在考虑究竟买哪种蛋糕,母亲热情招呼,并且用夹子掰下些让他品尝,他也不客气,几乎尝完了所有品种,却一块蛋糕也没有买。 At that time I was still in junior high school and my mother had a cake shop. Every three days I would go to a town ten kilometers away to set up a stall. Mother said that she had recently met with a funny thing. Every time she went to town, she would come to a plain old man, and she was holding her hands in front of Dongxixi. She seemed to be considering what kind of cake to buy and her mother would say hello. And with a clip to let him savor some tastings, he is also polite, almost tasted all the varieties, but did not buy a piece of cake.
