    Mom was very proud that she'd lost ten pounds. On the way to the store with my husband and me she talked of little else. We dropped her off in the lingerie department, but when we returned, we couldn't find her. Thinking she might be in the fitting 1 room, I asked the saleswoman if she had seen my mother.

妈妈为她减肥十磅而非常自豪。在和我们小两口一起去商场的路上,她别无所谈。我们把她送到女内衣部,在那儿分手,但当我们回来找她时,却找不见她。我想她也许会在试衣室,就问售货员是否见过我母亲。“她长得什么样?”这位职员问。

    “左边第三个门,”女售货员笑眯眯地回答。
