Sold out

　　'The play may begin at any moment,' I said.

　　'It may have begun already,' Susan answered.

　　I hurried to the ticket office. 'May I have two tickets please?' I asked.

　　'I'm sorry, we've sold out,' the girl said.　

　　'What a pity!' Susan exclaimed. Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office.

　　'Can I return these two tickets?' he asked.

　　'Certainly,' the girl said.

　　'Could I have those two tickets please?' I asked.

　　'Certainly,' the girl said, 'but they are for next Wednesday's performance.

　　'I might as well have them,' I said sadly.

票已售完

　　“剧马上就要开演了，”我说。

　　“也许已经开演了呢，”苏珊回答说。

　　我匆匆赶到售票处，问：“我可以买两张票吗？”

　　“对不起，票已售完。”那位姑娘说。

　　“真可惜！”苏珊大声说。正在这时，一个男子匆匆奔向售票处。

　　我可以退掉这两张票吗？”他问。

　　“当然可以，”那姑娘说。

　　我马上又回到售票处。

　　“我可以买那两张票吗？”我问。

　　“当然可以，不过这两张票是下星期三的，您是否还要呢？”

　　“我还是买下的好，”我垂头丧气地说。
