一天晚上,在我家车库后面的车道上,我看到有一个人正站在那里。他的身体又瘦又高,估计要有五英尺七八英寸。他一见到我就立刻走上前来,对我说道:“先生,让我给您修剪草坪吧。”他那蹩脚的英语着实让人难懂。当我明白他的意思之后,我问他姓甚名谁,家住何方。“我叫托尼·特里维桑诺,是意大利人,住在首都罗马南面的一个穷困的农场里。”他答道。然后,他又说:“先生,让我给您修剪草坪吧。”看着他充满期盼的目光,我很遗憾地告诉他,我雇不起一个园丁。“先生,就让我给您修剪草坪吧。”他又说了一遍。然后,见我无奈地摇了摇头,就只好满怀失望地走了。
One night, in the driveway behind my garage, I saw a man standing there. His body is thin and tall, estimated to be five feet seven or eight inches. As soon as he saw me, he stepped forward and said to me, “Sir, let me mow the lawn.” “His crappy English is hard to understand. When I understood what he meant, I asked him who his name was very famous and where he lived. ”I’m Tony Treviso, an Italian, living in a poor farm south of the capital Rome.“ He replied. Then he said, ”Sir, let me mow the lawn.“ Watching him full of hope, I regret to inform him that I could not hire a gardener. ”Sir, let me mow the lawn for you. " He said again. Then, when I saw my helplessly shook my head, I had to leave with disappointment.
