②你匆匆忙忙到了电影院。你把票拿在手上，寻找买票人。一个长得英俊的年轻小伙子走上前来，面带微笑要买你的票。
③问过价钱后，他掏邮一张10元的钱让你找，你不知所措。他说让你等等，他去电影院商店换钱。你左等右等不见他来，走过去一看，他进了男厕所。这时你意识到他骗了你。

An Unpleasant Experience
沈青
It was during a weekend. Mum gave me two tickets for a film and told me she was too busy with the endless housework to go with me . She told me to keep the money if I could sell the extra ticket. I was very happy, of course . At that time , a ticket only cost 20 fen . But to me, a little girl of 12,20 fen seemed quite a lot.
I reached the cinema in a great hurry. Holding the ticket in my hand, I began to look for a buyer. A handsome young man noticed me and the ticket in my hand. He came towards me with a big smile, “You've got an extra ticket?”
“Yes,”I nodded .
“That's great . Say , how much?”
“Twenty fen.”
“ Oh ,”he thought for a while and then took out a ten-yuan note from his wallet.
“I'm very sorry, but I've only got this note.” Seeing I was confused① , he added, “Then, how about waiting for a while and I'll give you the money after I have changed it in the cinema's store?”
Without much thinking, I agreed. Then we went to the cinema together. He walked fast. I could hardly keep up with him. By and by, he left me further and further behind. Soon he disappeared in the Gents②. I stood there without knowing what to do. Suddenly I seemed to realize the handsome young fellow had cheated me. He had saved twenty fen, but lost his honour.

【写法指要】
1）本文是一篇叙述过去某时发生的一件事的文章，所以我们把它称为过去记叙文（past narration）。文章通过叙事和对话，把人物的活动描写得活灵活现，我们好像在看一段电影剪辑。
2）文中有不少体现人物性格的好的表达，如“in a great hurry”,“with a big smile”,“That's great. Say, how much?”,“without much thinking”,“without knowing what to do”,“He had saved twenty fen, but lost his honour.”
