Unit 9 Shuttering in a Store
第9单元 百货公司口吃男
A really huge muscular guy with a bad stutter goes to a counter in a department store and asks the boy at the counter, "W-w-w-where's the m-m-m-men's dep-p-p-partment?"
有名口吃很严重的粗壮肌肉男,走到百货公司柜台问服务员:“请...请问...男...男装...部在...在...哪...哪里?”
The clerk behind the counter just looks at him but does not tell the man where the men's department is.
柜台服务员只是看着他,并没有回答那个人男装部在哪里。
The guy repeats himself: "W-w-w-where's the m-m-m-men's department?" Again, the clerk doesn't answer him.
那个人又问了一次:“请...请问...男...男装...部在...在...哪...哪里?”可是服务员仍然不回答他。
The guy asks several more times: "W-w-w-where's the m-m-m-men's department?"
那个人又问了好几次:“请...请问...男...男装...部在...在...哪...哪里?”
And the clerk just seems to ignore him. Finally, the guy is angry and storms off.
店员好像就是不想理他,最后那个人咒骂了一声,愤然离去。
The customer who was waiting in line behind the guy asks the clerk, "Why wouldn't you answer the guy's questions?"
排在那个人后面的顾客向店员问道:“你干吗不回答那个人的问题?”
The clerk answers, "D-d-d-do you th-th-th-think I w-w-w-want to get b-b-b-beat up?!!"
店员回答:“你...你觉...觉得...我...我想...被...被他...痛...痛扁...一...一顿吗?!!”
