Yesterday, I decided to get my pants altered. I had $200 in my wallet, which was more than enough for the alteration. Foolishly however, I got lost taking an alternate route to the tailor shop. Fortunately, I had aspirin to alleviate my headache. Walking further, I noticed a red balloon aloft, rising to a higher altitude. It distracted me, causing me to bump into two young brothers. They looked alike but seemed opposite in personality. One was clearly aloof but the other appeared to be an altruistic individual. He could sense I was lost and happily gave me directions. Such altruism is so rare these days. What an ally he can be to a lost person! The contrast in their personalities reminded me of the biblical allegory of Cain and Abel. But it would be too hasty to allege such a contrast given that I didn't really know them. I continued on my way but was allured into a bike shop by a window photo of a lovely girl on a mountain bike. Below the photo, it said, "ride rough, ride real," a clever alliteration. I felt there was no alternative but to enter the shop. The owner was an alumnus from my university. He alluded that the best bike for me would be the $200 bike that was displayed in the window photo. It was made out of a special lightweight alloy. He also offered to adjust my tire alignment for free. Well, I didn't make it to the tailor that day. But I did ride home on a new bike. As for my pants? Well, the bike shop owner cut the pant legs off for free. Now I have a cool pair of shorts for riding.
昨天，我決定去裁縫店改褲子。我錢包里有200美元，改條褲子是綽綽有余了。但我在另選路線去裁縫店時竟然傻不拉嘰地迷路了。幸好我?guī)е⑺酒チ郑^痛才得以減輕。 往前走不遠(yuǎn)，我注意到一只紅氣球飄在空中，它越飄越高。我盯著氣球出神，不小心跟兩兄弟撞了滿懷。他們長得很像，但性格迥異：一位是明顯的漠不關(guān)心，另一位看起來則是個利他主義者。他能感覺到我迷路了，便欣然為我指路。這樣的利他主義現(xiàn)在實(shí)在罕見。對一位迷路者而言，他可謂盟友了！二人的性格反差讓我想起了《圣經(jīng)》里該隱與亞伯的寓言。不過，我并不真正了解他們，所以當(dāng)下斷言二人性格如該隱和亞伯那般性格迥異未免過于草率。 我繼續(xù)往前走，不一會兒，我在一家自行車商店的櫥窗里看到了一張騎山地車的美女照片。在照片的誘惑下，我走進(jìn)這家商店。照片下有一行字：“騎山地車才是真我體驗(yàn)?！焙苈斆鞯难侯^韻嘛。我覺得除了走進(jìn)商店外別無選擇。 店主是我所在大學(xué)的校友。他暗示道，最合適我的自行車就是櫥窗照片上價(jià)值200美元的那輛。它用一種特殊的輕型合金制成。他還提出為我免費(fèi)調(diào)整輪胎，使之成直線排列。 這樣一來，那天我就沒能去成裁縫店。不過，我確實(shí)騎著一輛嶄新的自行車回家了。至于我的褲子嘛，自行車店的店主免費(fèi)幫我剪短了?，F(xiàn)在我就有一條騎車時穿的酷酷短褲了。
