Boy 2: So, why was it an accident?

Boy 2: So what happened?
男孩2：那么发生了什么？
Boy 1: Well, George was angry, so he cut the potatoes really, really thin, and he cooked them for a long time until they were crispy. And he put lots of salt on them so they were really salty. He thought the customer would hate them.
男孩1：嗯，乔治很生气，因此他把土豆切得很薄很薄，然后炸了很长一段时间，直到它们很脆为止。并且他在上面撒了很多盐，因此它们很咸。他原以为那位顾客会不喜欢它们。
Boy 2: And?
男孩2：然后呢？
Boy 1: And the customer loved them and asked for more. He told the other customers about them, and soon everyone was ordering thinly cut, crispy, salty potato chips.
男孩1：那位顾客很喜欢它们，并又要了一些。他告诉了别的顾客，不久大家都订购切得薄薄的、又脆又咸的炸薯片。
