495　The Truth 真话

Traveling salesmen make their living visiting as many customers as possible. So speeding to get from one appointment to the next is not unheard of， which is how I got pulled over by a highway patrolman. “Don't you ever look at the speedometer?” the officer scolded. Before I knew it, the truth spilled from my mouth. “As fast as I was going,” I admitted, “I was afraid to take my eyes off the road.”

上门的销售人员就是靠访问尽可能多的客户来谋生，因此在两次约会之间开快车也是家常便饭。我就是这样被高速公路巡警抓到的。警察责备说：“你是不是从来都不看速度表？”我不由自主地吐出了真话：“像我开得那么快，我都不敢让眼睛离开路面。”
