Holiday Disaster灾难性度假
My friend sent me a long email about a trip she made, all in one paragraph She took a package trip to an island with a hot climate, thinking she could have a decent holiday there, sitting under palms and enjoying the view Unfortunately, it turned out to be a painful experience Everything went at a very slow pace; for instance, she had to wait for an hour for her turn at customs, then another half hour to package her luggage again As soon as she stepped out, she was immediately surrounded by people who wanted to sell her all sorts of things, from a pad to a pair of pants, and a painter also insisted he draw a picture of her However, the sight of police panicked them, so they palmed their money and ran away When she went to the market, a friendlylooking girl palmed off some false antiques to her The next morning, she was woken up by bands parading along the streets So she went down to watch the parade The streets were crowded with people who tried to keep pace with the bands Supporters of one band werent satisfied with the decision made by the panel and threw beer bottles at them, which set the pace for others to do likewise Panic followed a big fight My friend paced up and down her room when she found her money had been stolen, and decided to take the next flight back “At least the plane seats are padded” She wrote
我的朋友给我发了一封很长的电子邮件讲述她的一次旅行,全文只有一个段落。她参加了一个包办旅游,去了一个气候炎热的岛上,满以为可以好好地度一个假,可以坐在棕榈树下欣赏风景。不幸的是,这次旅行结果成了一次痛苦的经历。办所有事情都速度极慢,比方说,在海关等了一个小时才轮到她过关,把东西重新打包又花了半个小时。她一出门,立刻就被一群人围住了,他们向她兜售从便笺本到长裤等各种东西。一个画家还坚持要给她画像。不过,看见警察他们便惊惶失措,于是手里捏着钱就跑了。她去逛市场时,一个貌似友善的女孩用欺骗的手段把一些假古董卖给了她。第二天早上,她被在街上列队行进的乐队给吵醒了,于是她下楼去看他们的游行。街上到处是人,他们与乐队齐步前进。一个乐队的支持者因为对评判小组的裁决不满,便向他们投掷啤酒瓶,这给其他人起了个带头作用,他们也扔起啤酒瓶来。一场恶斗之后紧接着是一片惊慌。我的朋友发现钱被偷之后开始在房间里来回踱步,并决定搭乘下一班飞机回来。“至少飞机上的座位包了护垫。”她写道。
