烟斗 荷叶/译 简在逛商场，她记得给爸爸买件合适的礼物有多难。她真希望爸爸能够像妈妈那样容易满足，妈妈总是喜欢香水。 此外，在一年的这个时候购物也不是件令人愉快的事情，人们摩肩接踵，赶着去抢便宜货。 简停在一个柜台前，这展出的领带很吸引人的眼球。“这是真丝的，”售货员想吸引她：“物超所值。” 但根据以往的经验，简知道她挑选的领带几乎没有一条令爸爸满意。 简停在了一小群男人聚集的地方，她发现这正出售一些优质烟斗。她没再犹豫。尽管爸爸不常使用烟斗，但她知道这件礼物他一定喜欢。 当简包里装着她精心挑选的小礼物回到家时，父母正坐在桌旁吃晚饭。母亲很兴奋地告诉简：“你爸爸终于决定戒烟了。” 附：原文 Jane was walking around the department store. She remembered how difficult it was to choose a suitable present for his father. She wished that he was as easy toplease as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume. Besides,shopping at this time of the year was not a pleasant experience: people stepped on your feet or pushed you with elbows , hurrying ahead to get to a bargain. Jane paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties are on display. “They are real silk,” the assistant tried to attract her. “Worth double the price.” But Jane knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father. Jane stoppedwhere a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes onsale. She didn’t hesitate for long. Although her father smoked a pipe only oncein a while, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please him. When Jane got home, with her small but well-chosen present in her bag, her parents were already at table having supper. Her mother was excited. “Your father at last decided to stop smoking.” Jane was informed.
