The Locked Door
上锁的门
It was Sunday in New York City. He needed some cash. He walked to the bank on the corner. Next to the bank were six indoor ATMs. A woman was using one of the ATMs. He pulled on the glass door. The door was locked. He pulled again. How did she get in there? She finished using the ATM. She walked toward him. She opened the door. She stepped outside. He held onto the door. He walked inside. She must have waited for someone, too, he thought. He put his card into the ATM. He got his cash. He started to walk out. Just then a young woman walked in. He couldn't believe it. "Excuse me," he said. "How did you get in here? That door is locked." "Outside there's a slot next to the door," she said. "Just slide your ATM card into the slot. The door will unlock."
纽约城,周日的一天。他需要现金。他走向了拐角的银行。银行旁边有6台室内自动取款机。一名妇女正在使用其中一台。他拉开了玻璃门。门上了锁。他又拉了一次。她是怎么进去的?她从自动取款机前离开。她走向他。她打开了门。她走了出去。他扶住了门。他走了进去。他想,她一定要等个人过来。他将卡放进了自动取款机。他取出了现金。他开始向外走。就在这时,一位年轻的女性向里走。他不敢相信。他问道:“对不起,你是怎么进去的?门是上锁的。”她说:“旁边门上有一个放卡的地方。将卡在这里一刷。门就不会锁上了。”
