妙语短篇A1之6、Not a small problem

6 Not a small problem Mr Guppy was a very large man He had a loud voice and a bad temper He was not a giant but he was much bigger than most men Life was not easy for Mr Guppy He could seldom find clothes big enough His feet were too large for most shoes In buses trains and planes he could not stand up straight The roofs were too low In cars he could not move his legs There was not enough room At home his bed was too short Chairs were always too small In fact wherever he went and whatever he did Mr Guppy had problems because of his size These problems were so bad that Mr Guppy stayed at home most of the time Life was easier at home Then one day a friend said You spend too much time at home You should go out more There s a good movie at the theater I can t sit in theater seats Mr guppy said I m too big That is no problem his friend said I ll buy you two tickets You can get them at the theater when you go The friend sent money to the theater for two tickedts when the day came Mr Guppy put on his best clothes and went to the theater You have two tickets for me he said to the woman in the ticket office My name is Guppy Oh yes Mr Guppy the womam said Here you are seats G4 and P12 I m sorry you and your friend can t sit together because we are very full this evening Poor Mr Guppy He smiled sadly walked out of the theater and went home 这不是个小问题 Mr Guppy 是一个体型庞大的人 他有一副响亮的声音和一个火爆的 脾气 虽然他不是个巨人但他的体型要比一般人庞大很多 生活对 Mr Guppy 来说并不简单 他买不到自己能穿上足够大的衣 服和鞋子 在公车 火车和飞机上 他不能直立因为那的顶太低了 在车里 他不能挪动自己的腿 因为车里没有足够的空间 在他的家里 床和椅子对于他来说都太小了 事实上 无论何时 无论他他做什么 都会因为他的体型而产生问题 这些问题导致了他大部分时间都会呆在家里 因为对于他来说 家里的生 活更容易些 接下来的某一天 一个朋友对他说 你呆在家里的时间太长了 你 应该多去外边走走 今天剧院里有一场很好的电影 我坐不上剧院的椅子 Mr Guppy 回答说 我太胖了 这不是问题 朋友继续说 我会给你买两张票 你去的时候可以 在剧院那拿到票 朋友把钱打给剧院然后预定了 2 张票 终于电影播出的这天来了 Mr Guppy 穿上他最好的衣服去了剧院 这有我的两张票 他对剧院的售票员说 我的名字叫 Guppy 哦 是的 Mr
