Harry告訴同事Cindy, 他這一天真是倒了血霉了。早上起晚，上班遲到，忘了取送去干洗的西裝，所以只好穿著T恤和牛仔褲來公司上班，不僅如此，錢包還被人偷了。

Cindy聽后很同情地說，

Cindy: Wow, Harry...this might just be the worst day of your life!

H: I know! (beep, beep sound) Well...when it rains it pours! Now my cell phone is out of power! And of course...I left my charger at home.

C: (Sniffs) Hey...what's that smell? it's kind of nasty.

H: Yeah, you're right....it does stink. Oh! Look at my shoes! I stepped in dog poo!

C: (Chuckle) It's almost funny. Well, you know...when life brings you troubles you can either laugh or cry. Maybe you should go buy a lottery ticket! One of my Chinese friends told me that when you step in doggie poo, you might win the lottery!

正聊著，Harry手機(jī)又沒電了。When it rains, it pours! 這種說法是指不管好事還是壞事，要來的時候就會接二連三，在這里可以理解為禍不單行。這時，兩人都聞到有臭味，It stinks. 原來是Harry不小心踩到了狗屎，dog poo. Cindy說，她的中國朋友告訴她，踩到狗屎應(yīng)該去買樂透lottery，沒準(zhǔn)能中大獎。

H: Ha! Even if I wanted to...I don't have any money! I don't even know how I'm getting home tonight.

C: I can lend you some money.

H: Thanks, Cindy...that's very kind of you.

C: Not at all! Did you cancel your credit cards?

H: Not yet.

C: You better get on the phone and do that ASAP...you don't want some thief going on a shopping spree with your cards.

H: No, I certainly don't. Do you think I should report the theft to the police?

別說買樂透，Harry錢包丟了，今天連回家的路費(fèi)都沒有著落呢。Cindy安慰Harry, 說可以借錢給他，還問他有沒有 cancel your credit cards.把信用卡都關(guān)掉，否則的話，小偷可能會拿著Harry的信用卡，go on a shopping spree 去瘋狂購物。Harry說自己這就去，還問Cindy，自己要不要向警察報案。Cindy說：

C: Well...to be honest, the chances of getting your wallet back are low...but you might want to report it anyway. Maybe the cops will eventually catch the guy.

H: Ok...I'll go do that during my lunch break. Wow...what a day!

C: Keep your chin up, Harry. I know it's been a rough day for you, but someday you'll be able to laugh about this.

H: I hope so. Thanks for being a good friend.

C: Of course! What are friends for? Let me buy you lunch today...ok?

H: Cindy...you're an angel.

Cindy覺得，to be honest 老實說，錢包找回來的可能性很小，但她還是建議Harry去報案。Cindy還鼓勵Harry說，keep your chin up! 抬起頭來，別那么沮喪。Harry夸Cindy夠意思。Cindy回答說，What are friends for? 直譯為“要朋友干嘛用的?”意思是這是朋友應(yīng)該做的，她最后還說，要請Harry吃中飯。
