华尔街高级英语Lesson 34

 65. Very funny, that business with Mr. Gusper. Real strange. There’s a supermarket over there. I’ve got nothing for supper. No one will mind if I park here, will they?
 66. Have you got frozen¹ beef burger and frozen French fries?
 67. Yes.
 68. And do you sell mustard²?
 69. Yes.
 70. Great. Well, can I have four beef burgers, half a pound of French fries and a jar of mustard, please?
 71. This is a self-service store, sir. Go get it yourself. The frozen foods are in the freezer over there. And the mustard is on the top shelf at the back.
 72. What was that? Hey, that was my car! It’s just blown up!
 73. An American car, was it?
 74. No, it was Japanese.
 75. That’s surprising. They’re usually very reliable.
 76. This is terrible. What am I going to do?
 77. You’ll have to travel by public transportation, I guess. Were you insured³?
 78. Insured? Yes, of course.
 79. Then, you’ve got nothing to worry about. Just report it to the police.
 80. Right. Is there a police station near here?
 81. It’s half a mile down the road, more or less.
