第18課:慷慨大方的?- 11

迷你小對話

A: Mr. Turnbill was so generous! He gave twice as much as anyone else at the fund raiser.
B: Yes, but he was not very cheerful about it. He complained to everyone that he was giving because he felt guilty.
A: I didn’t know that. I prefer ungrudging giving, even when the gift is small, don’t you?

A: Turnbill先生可真慷慨!募捐的時候,他捐的 錢是其他人的兩倍。
B: 是啊,不過對此他并不是太高興。他向每個人都抱怨說他之所以捐錢是因為他有一種負(fù)罪感。
A: 這我可不知道。我覺得還是心甘情愿地捐贈比較好,哪怕只是很少的捐贈,你認(rèn)為呢?

語言點精講
