I was sitting in the foyer of a bank when a young man walked by, and then stopped for a moment on his way out.

Just then the case burst open. He stared at me with something akin to fear in his eyes as he gasped, “How on earth did you do that?”
我正坐在銀行的門廳里,一個小伙子從旁邊經(jīng)過。在出去的時候,他停了一下。我注意到,他那個塞得滿滿的小提箱有一個彈簧鎖已經(jīng)彈開了,所有的分量都靠剩下的那個彈簧鎖支撐。我提醒他說:“你小提箱里的東西要掉出來了。”恰巧這時候他的小提箱崩開了。他用充滿恐懼的眼神盯著我,喘著氣說:“你究竟為什么要這么干?”
