听力原文及翻译

I was going to town one morning, when my wife gave me a little piece of red calico cloth. she asked me if I would have time during the day, to buy her two and a/2 meters of calico cloth, like that. I told her that it would be no trouble at all, putting the piece of brightly colored cloth in my pocket. I took the train to the city. during the day, I stopped in at a large store. I saw a man walking the floor and asked him where I could see some red calico. "this way, sir," and he led me up the store. "Miss Stone," said he to a young woman.

一天早晨，我正要进城，妻子给了我一小块红印花布。她问我白天有没有时间，给她买两米半的印花布，就像这样。我告诉她这一点也不麻烦，并把那块颜色鲜艳的布放进了我的口袋里。我乘火车去了城里。白天，我进了一家大商店。我看见一个人在地板上走来走去，就问他在哪里可以看到一些红印花布。“这边走，先生。”他把我领进了商店。“斯通小姐，”他对一个年轻女子说。一天早晨，我正要进城，妻子给了我一小块红印花布。她问我白天有没有时间，给她买两米半的印花布，就像这样。我告诉她这一点也不麻烦，并把那块颜色鲜艳的布放进了我的口袋里。我乘火车去了城里。白天，我进了一家大商店。我看见一个人在地板上走来走去，就问他在哪里可以看到一些红印花布。“这边走，先生。”他把我领进了商店。“斯通小姐，”他对一个年轻女子说。
