参考译文

克里斯托弗和杰夫从小就认识。有一天，杰夫告诉他的这位朋友说，他恋爱了，打算下个月结婚。他恳请克里斯托弗借给他1000美元准备婚礼，并保证一月后他开始上班时归还。克里斯托弗知道杰夫在钱的问题上名声不大好，但还是同意了。因为他们是老朋友，所以没有写下书面的借条。

一个月后，克里斯托弗没有收到杰夫的来信，也没有收到钱，于是他给杰夫打了个电话。杰夫表示很抱歉，并说一个月内肯定还钱。6周后，克里斯托弗又试着给杰夫打了个电话，结果发现他已经搬家了，也没有留下联系地址。这时候，克里斯托弗很生气。

又过了一个月，克里斯托弗意外地收到了一张杰夫寄来的100美元支票，还有一封信，信里留下了新的地址。他解释说他经济上一直很困难，暂时不能归还剩余的900美元。克里斯托弗回信告诉杰夫，剩下的钱不用还了，以后也不要再写信或打电话跟他联系了。
