第16课：有礼貌的 - 5

【迷你小对话】

A: Why are you so late today?
B: I was mugged getting on the train to come to work! Luckily, a wonderful man fought off my attacker and helped me buy my train ticket and then escorted me all the way here. He made pleasant conversation and was a perfect gentleman. He was the most chivalric I’ve ever met.

A: 你今天怎么来得这么晚？
B: 我在来上班的火车上被抢劫了。幸好，一个好心人帮我打跑了那个人，给我买了车票，然后一路护送我过来。和他聊天非常舒服，他是一位真正的绅士。他是我见过的最行侠仗义的人。
