The angry woman stood by the station. “ The railway owes me £12,”she said to Harry Jenks, the booking clerk (订票员). “My ticket was for May 22nd, and there was no ship from Jersey that night. My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “ Come into the office, madam,” he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“ Yes,” she answered. “ The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!”
“ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----”
“ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “ I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “ But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
“ Er, well-----” The woman looked at the child. “ I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”
“ A four year old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s return to Jersey costs----let me see----£13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel bill, you will owe £1.50.The law is the law, but since we have made a mistake-----”
The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.

The angry woman stood by the station. “ The railway owes me £12,”she said to Harry Jenks, the booking clerk (订票员). “My ticket was for May 22nd, and there was no ship from Jersey that night. My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”
一个愤怒的女人站在火车站旁对订票员Harry Jenks说：“铁道部门欠我12英镑，我的票是5月22号的，但是那天晚上没有船从Jersey来。我的女儿和我不得不待在旅馆里。这花去了我12英镑”

Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “ Come into the office, madam,” he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .”
Harry非常着急，他记得的确卖了一张返程票给这个女人。“随我来，夫人”他说，“我来查一查5月22号Jersey的时间表”

The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
女人和她的女儿随他进去了。Harry很快发现，女人是正确的。5月22号的确没有船。他怎么能够犯这么大的错误呢？他思索着该如何处理这件事情，他笑着对小姑娘说：“你看上去很健康，你在Jersey玩得好吗？”

“ Yes,” she answered. “ The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!”
“是的，”她回答道，“海滩很美。而且我还会游泳了！”

“ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----”
“真棒！”，Harry说，“我的女儿就不会游泳。当然，她仅仅只有3岁——”

“ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.”
“我4岁，”小姑娘骄傲的说，“我马上就4岁半了。”

Harry turned to the mother. “ I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “ But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
Harry转身对小姑娘的妈妈说：“我记得你的票，夫人”，他说，“但是你没有给你的女儿买票，不是吗？”

“ Er, well-----” The woman looked at the child. “ I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”
“嗯，是的——”女人看着她的孩子说，“我的意思是，她还没有上学，她仅仅只有4岁。”

“ A four year old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s return to Jersey costs----let me see----£13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel bill, you will owe £1.50.The law is the law, but since we have made a mistake-----”
“4岁大的孩子应该买票，夫人。一个小孩返回到Jersey的票价—让我看看—是13.5英镑。如果铁路部门给你支付住旅馆的费用，那你还欠铁路部门1.5英镑。法律就是法律，尽管我们都犯了一点错误。”

The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.
女人站起来，拉起孩子的手离开了。
