轻率的插话 A Hasty Interruption

The fine-furniture store where I work has been in business since the 1920s.

我所工作的精品家具商店是从20世纪二十年代以来就营业的。

Recently I received a call from a woman who wanted to replace some chairs from a dining set purchased from us in the 1930s.

最近我接到一个妇女的电话。她想换一套餐具中的一些椅子。这套餐具她是在三十年代从我们这儿买的。

I assured her we could help and sought the assistance of the office manager.

我向她保证说我们可以帮她的忙，于是我向部门经理寻求帮助。

 "You'll never believe this one, " I told him." I just got a call from a customer who bought some chairs from us in the 1930s. "

“你永远也不会相信，”我对他说，“我刚接到一个顾客的电话，她在三十年代从我们这里买了一些椅子。” 

Before I could finish repeating her request, he interrupted and said, "Don't tell me she hasn't received them yet!"

我还没来得及说她的要求，经理就打断了我的话：“你别告诉我她到现在还没收到货!”
