May: Come back. You haven't paid yet.

Boss: May, just let him go.

May: But he took some newspaper away without paying.

Boss: I know.

May: Why? You make me confused.

Boss: He lives nearby and he would just glance at the newspaper headlines, read the political sections and return them later.

May: Why does he have such a privilege?

Boss: He used to be a hero during the war time and everyone respect him.

May: I see. Does he live by himself?

Boss: Yes, he has no children and his wife passed away when he was in the battle.

May: He must be lonely?

Boss: I bet. But he is always busy telling the children stories.

May: How respectable!

阿美：請(qǐng)回來。你還沒有付錢呢？

老板：阿美，讓他走吧。

阿美：但是他沒有付錢就把報(bào)紙拿走了。

老板：我知道。

阿美：為什么？你把我弄糊涂了。

老板：他住在附近，他只是瀏覽一下報(bào)紙的大標(biāo)題，等一下就會(huì)把報(bào)紙還回來的。

阿美：為什么他有這種特權(quán)呢？

老板：戰(zhàn)爭時(shí)期他曾經(jīng)是個(gè)英雄，這里的人都尊敬他。

阿美：知道了，他一個(gè)人住嗎？

老板：是的，他沒有孩子，他的妻子也在戰(zhàn)爭時(shí)期去世了。

阿美：他一定很孤獨(dú)了？

老板：我猜是的。但是他總是忙著給孩子們講故事。

阿美：真是可敬！

Boss: I run a newsstand. I find that people love reading newspapers in different ways. Some of them never read the whole thing but just glance at the headlines to get the main information. Others do the opposite. Anyhow I don't really care about how people read their newspapers but I do want to know what their favorite newspapers are?
