《新版新概念英语第二册(英音)Lesson (24)》歌词

[00:00:00] --- Lesson 24 It could be worse

[00:00:08] --- First listen and then answer the question.

[00:00:14] --- Had the writer's money been stolen?

[00:00:19] I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down.

[00:00:26] I had just lost $50 and I felt very upset.

[00:00:35] 'I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.'^"

[00:00:43] The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing.

[00:00:49] 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said.^"

[00:00:54] He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door.

[00:01:03] A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk.

[00:01:08] It contained $50

[00:01:13] 'I found this outside this gentleman's room,' she said.^"

[00:01:19] 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!'^"
