听力原文及翻译

I went into another large store. As I entered the door, a sudden nervousness took hold of me. I just could not take out that piece of red calico again. If I had had any other kind of clothes, I think I would have asked them if they could match that. But I stepped up to a young woman and presented my sample with the usual question. "Back room counter on the left," she said. 

我走进另一家大商店。一进门，我突然紧张起来。我实在是拿不出来那块红色印花布了。如果我有其他衣服，我想我会问他们能不能配得上那块。但我走到一位年轻女士面前，递上我的样品，并问了个常见的问题。“后面柜台在左边，”她说。

I went there. "Have you any red calico like this?" I asked the saleswoman. "No, sir," she said, "but we have it in Turkey red." Turkey red again! I surrendered. "All right," I said, "give me Turkey red." "How much, sir?" she asked. "I don't know," I said, "15 meters." She looked at me strangely but measured off 15 meters of Turkey's red calico. 

我去了那里。“你们有这样的红色印花布吗？”我问女售货员。“没有，先生，”她说，“但是我们有土耳其红的。”又是土耳其红！我投降了。“好吧，”我说，“给我土耳其红。”“多少钱，先生？”她问。“我不知道，”我说，“15米。”她奇怪地看着我，但还是量了15米的土耳其红印花布。

Then she touched the counter and called out, "Cash!" A young girl with yellow hair appeared. The woman wrote the number of meters, the name of the goods, her own number, the price, and the amount of money I gave her on a piece of paper. 

然后她摸了摸柜台，喊道：“现金！”一个黄头发的年轻女孩出现了。女人在一张纸上写下了米数、货物名称、她自己的号码、价格和我给她的钱数。

She probably wrote some other things like the color of my eyes and the direction and speed of the wind. She then copied all this into a little book. Then she gave the piece of paper, the money, and the Turkey red cloth to the yellow-haired girl. This girl copied the information into a little book she carried, then she went away with the calico, the paper, and the money.

她可能还写了一些其他的东西，比如我的眼睛的颜色，风向和风速。然后她把这些都抄在一个小本子上。然后她把这张纸、钱和土耳其红布给了黄头发的女孩。这个女孩把这些信息抄在她随身携带的一个小本子上，然后带着印花布、纸和钱走了。
