695　A Real Person 真的人

Manning the computer help desk for the local school district was my first job. I took the job very seriously. But not every caller took me seriously. “Can I talk to a real person?” a caller asked. “I am real,” I said. “Oh, I'm sorry,” the caller said. “That was rude of me. What I meant to say was, could I talk to someone who actually knows something?”

我的第一个工作就是在附近的学区当电脑辅助台的替班。我对这份工作非常认真，然而打电话来的人却不是都拿我当回事。有一个人问我：“我能不能跟一个真的人说话？”我说：“我是真的人。”他说：“对不起，我太粗鲁了。我的意思是，我能不能和真正懂点什么的人说话。”
