Grandpa Hodge once again interrupted him, “So let’s use the third sieve. Can you tell me if the news that is exciting you is very important?”
霍奇爷爷再次打断他的话:“那么我们再用第三个筛子,请问,使你如此激动的消息很重要吗?”
“It is not so important,” the man answered with embarrassment.
“并不怎么重要,”那人(欢迎访问零二七范文网/faNweN,范文大全)不好意思地回答。
Grandpa Hodge patted the shoulder of the man and said significantly, “Now that the news you will tell me is not true, friendly or important, please don’t tell me. Then it won’t trouble you and me.”
霍奇爷爷拍了拍那人的肩膀,意味深长的说:“既然你要告诉我的事,既不真实,也非善意,更不重要,那么就请你别说了吧!这样的话,它就不会困扰你和我了。”
The man took a tumble and never spread the overhead news ever since.
那人恍然大悟,从此以后再也不到处传播道听途说的消息了。
