Dmitri walked into a busy restaurant to pick up his order. He ordered a chicken curry and a bottle of water. The counter had ten bags waiting for different customers. Corinne, the worker at the counter, called out order numbers. "Order twelve!" she said, and Dmitri stepped forward.
德米特里走进一家热闹的餐厅取餐。他点了一份咖喱鸡和一瓶水。柜台上放着十个袋子,等着不同的顾客来取。柜台的工作人员科琳大声喊着订单号。“十二号订单!”她说,德米特里走上前去。
She handed him a bag with the number twelve on it. Dmitri thanked her and walked outside to his car. He opened the bag and looked inside before he drove away. Instead of chicken curry, he found a large pizza. "This isn't my order," Dmitri said to himself.
她递给他一个袋子,上面写着数字十二。德米特里向她道谢,走到外面的车旁。他在开车离开之前打开袋子,往里看了看。里面不是咖喱鸡,而是一个大披萨。“这不是我的订单,”德米特里自言自语地说。
At the same time, another customer named Yusuf opened his own bag. Yusuf wanted a large pizza for his family dinner. But his bag had a container of chicken curry inside. Yusuf checked the number on his bag. It also said twelve, just like Dmitri's bag.
与此同时,另一位名叫优素福的顾客也打开了自己的袋子。优素福想要一个大披萨,给家人当晚餐。可是他的袋子里装的是一盒咖喱鸡。优素福看了看袋子上的号码。上面也写着十二,和德米特里的袋子一样。
Yusuf walked back into the restaurant with his bag. He found Dmitri near the counter with his own bag. "Excuse me, I think we have the same order number," Yusuf said. Dmitri looked at both bags and started to laugh. "You have my curry, and I have your pizza," he said.
优素福提着袋子走回餐厅。他在柜台旁找到了拿着自己袋子的德米特里。“打扰一下,我想我们的订单号一样,”优素福说。德米特里看了看两个袋子,笑了起来。“你拿了我的咖喱,我拿了你的披萨,”他说。
They both showed their bags to Corinne at the counter. She checked her list and found the problem quickly. Two orders both got the number twelve by mistake. "I'm sorry about that," Corinne said. "Let me fix this." She switched the labels and handed each man the right bag.
他们俩把袋子拿给柜台的科琳看。她查了查名单,很快就找到了问题。有两份订单都被错写成了十二号。“对不起,”科琳说,“我来处理一下。”她换掉了标签,把正确的袋子交给两个人。
Dmitri opened his new bag and smelled the curry. "Perfect. This is exactly what I wanted," he said. Yusuf checked his pizza and nodded with relief. Both men thanked Corinne and walked toward the parking lot. "Have a good dinner," Corinne called after them.
德米特里打开新的袋子,闻到了咖喱的香味。“太好了。这正是我想要的,”他说。优素福看了看他的披萨,松了一口气,点点头。两人向科琳道谢,朝停车场走去。“祝你们晚餐愉快,”科琳在他们身后喊道。
