Three days ago, the boss of a gold shop received a letter. As he was very busy, the letter was on his desk till dinner time. When he opened it, a $1000 note fell out onto the desk. With the note was a short letter:
Dear sir,
I got married forty years ago. Unfortunately, at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I got no job. I was out of work for about six months before I got another one. Of course I was very short of money.
I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring one day. The assistant brought some rings for me to have a look, later she was called away for a moment, and then I put one of the rings into my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend’s finger. So I left the shop with the ring but I didn’t pay for it. My wife died a month ago, and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience(让我良心不安)all these years. I always feel guilty about that. At that time the ring cost $100, and I think that is about ten times at today’s price.
Now, I am sending you that amount.
Yours truly,
A customer 求译文!
三天前,金店的老板收到一封信.当时他很忙,直到晚饭的时候才看到桌上的这封信.当他撕开信封,一张1000美元的钞票掉落在桌上,里面还有一封简短的信:
我40年前结的婚,不幸的是,当时社会上有大量人员失业,我也没有工作.这种状态持续了6个月后我终于找到了一份工作,当然收入很少.
一天我到你店里买结婚戒指.营业员拿来很多戒指给我挑选,后来她去接了个电话,我就把一枚戒指揣在了口袋里.当她回来后,我说不太清楚我女友手指的尺寸,于是我带着没付钱的戒指离开了.我妻子一个月前去世了,这枚送给她的没有付钱的戒指,在这些年里一直让我良心不安,使我总有一种罪恶感.当时这枚戒指只值100美元,现在我想它的价值应该10倍于原来的价格.所以我给你这个数目.
你的一位真诚的顾客.
