I called her, introduced myself, and told her what I wanted. She was not a college student, but a retired professor of English literature. These books were copies she’d sold when she moved to a smaller apartment. She laughed and said she’d be glad to have a date with me.
我给她打了电话,自我介绍一番并讲明了我的想法。她根本不是大学生,而是一个已退休的英国文学教授。这些书是她搬到一个小公寓时卖的。她笑着说她很高兴能和我约会。
We liked each other right away. She lived alone, and her eyes were failing. She suggested that if I’d drive her to the supermarket once a week, she’d tutor me in Lawrence.
我们很快就喜欢上对方了。她一个人住,眼睛不太好。她建议说,如果我每周开车送她去一次超市,她就会在劳伦斯给我当家教。
