笑话原文】
Chatting away
Pushing my cart up a supermarket aisle, I came upon a woman chatting away on her cell phone. There was barely enough room to squeeze by her, and she seemed to be having trouble maneuvering 2 her cart out of the way.
“I’ve got to go,” I heard her say to the person on the other end. “I’ll call you back from the next aisle.”
中文译文】
海聊
我推着购物车在超级市场的过道里走，前面遇到一个妇女正在用手机海聊。我从她身边挤不过去，她要把她的推车让开又有困难。我听到她对电话那头的人说：“我得挂了。等我到下一个过道再给你打过去。”
