 I Am Acting 1 Like a Lady 


  One day when women's dresses were on sale at the FarEast Department Store, a dignified 2 middle-aged 3 man decided 4 to get his wife a piece. But he soon found himself being battered 5 by frantic 6 women. 
  He stood it as long as he could; then, with head lowered and arms flailing 7, he plowed 8 through the crowed. 
  You there! challenged a thrill voice. Can't you act like a gentleman? 
  Listen, he said, I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour. From now on, I am acting like a lady. 
  我要表现得象位女士 
  一天,远东百货公司的女装大减价,一位高贵的中年男士想给太太买一件。可是,没过多久,他发现自己已被疯狂的女人冲得踉踉跄跄。 
  他竭力忍耐着。后来,他低下头,挥动双臂,挤过人群。 
  你干嘛?有人尖声叫道,你难道不能表现得象位绅士吗? 
  听着,他说,我已经象绅士一样表现了一个小时。从现在起,我要表现得象个女士。
