The man looked at his photo for a moment and saidto the clerk," I was standing in line so long, I endedup looking pretty grouchy in this picture."
那個(gè)人看了一會(huì)兒他的照片,對(duì)辦事員說:“我因?yàn)榕抨?duì)站太久,所以這張照片看起來表情很不高興。”
The clerk looked at his picture closely, and smiled, "It's okay. That's how you're going to lookwhen the cops pull you over anyway."
辦事員仔細(xì)看了一下他的照片,微笑道:“沒差啦,反正你被警察攔到路邊時(shí)也會(huì)是那個(gè)表情。”
