56. Returning Library Books
还书
Meimei likes reading books. She often goes and borrows books from the school library. Though she likes reading, she doesn't take care of her books. She throws them everywhere on the table on the ground; even under her bed. Her roommates often remind her of this, but she turns a deaf ear to them.
梅梅喜欢读书，她经常去校图书馆借书。尽管她喜欢读书，但是她并不爱护书。她把书仍得到处都是，桌子上、地上,甚至床底下。同屋同学提醒她多次，她却置之不理
Not until yesterday did her bad habit bring her great trouble. It was the deadline for two books. She looked everywhere but failed to find them. When her roommates came back and learned that, they began to help her look for the books in the room.
直到昨天她的坏习惯终于给她惹了大麻烦。有两本书昨天到期，可是她哪儿都找不到。同屋同学回来后，也帮助她一起找。
Twenty minutes passed without any result. Meimei cried helplessly. It was 4:30 and Meimei had to go to the library, for it closes at 5. As soon as she told the story to the librarian and asked for an extra day with tears, the librarian looked at her with surprise and said, "What a careless girl! You returned them, yesterday! Don't you remember?"
20分钟过去了仍无结果。梅梅无助地哭着。已经是下午4点半了，梅梅必须去图书馆，因为图书馆5点关门。当她含着眼泪向图书馆员说明情况，并请求宽限一天时，图书馆员惊讶地看着她说：“真是个粗心的姑娘，书已经还了，就是昨天！记得吗？”
