我在邮局上班，对于顾客们的各种情绪早已习以为常了……

Working at the post office， I'm used to dealing with a moody public. So when one irate customer stormed my desk， I responded in my calmest voice， "What's the trouble?" "I went out this morning，" she began， "and when I came home I found a card saying the mailman tried to deliver a package but no one was home. My husband was in all morning. He never heard a thing!”

After apologizing， I got her parcel. "Oh， good，" she gushed. "We've been waiting for this for ages." "What is it?" I asked. "My husband's new hearing aid.”

我在邮局上班，对于顾客们的各种情绪早已习以为常了。所以，有一天当一个生气的顾客气冲冲地来到我的工作台时，我还是非常平静地问她，“有什么问题吗？”

“我早上上街了，”女顾客说，“我回到家的时候，我看到一个卡片，卡片说邮递员要给我们家送包裹，但没人在家。可是我的丈夫整个早上都在家啊。他说他什么都没听到”。

在表示了歉意之后，我把包裹给了她。

“噢，太好了”，那位女顾客喜形于色。

“我们等这东西都等多少年了！”

“是什么好东西？”我问。

“我丈夫的新助听器”。
