The elde

As I opened the door to leave, the desperate shop owner announced she had one more dress in the back that was expensive and not even my size, but perhaps I might want to look at it anyway. When she brought i

42、t out, I squealed in delight.當我們進入這家滿是新鮮花香的精致小店時，我有一種很好的預感。上年紀的店員讓我們看了幾件適合我穿的美麗的禮服，價格也都在我的預算之內，但是都不是我想要的。正當我打開店門準備離開之即，孤注一擲的老板娘喊道，在后面庫里還有一件禮服，這件禮服很貴，甚至沒有我穿的號碼，但是也許我還是想看一眼。當她拿出來時，我欣喜的叫出聲來。This was it!就是這一件了！I rushed to the dressing room and slipped it on.

I called the boutique for suggestions but only got their answering machine.然而盲目的激動是無濟于事的。禮拜一早上，當我們那兒

45、的裁縫店告訴我禮服上手縫的珠子和飾片太多因而沒法改動時我傻眼了。我打電話給那家服裝店尋求建議，聽到的卻只是機器的自動應答。A friend gave me the number of a lady across town who worked at home doing alterations. I was desperate and willing to try anything, so I decided to give her a call.一個朋友給我鎮(zhèn)上一個裁縫的電話，這個裁縫在家里做活。在絕望之余，我愿意進行任何嘗試。于是我決定給她打個電話。When I arrived at he

The dress still looked exactly the same, but it now fit as if it had been made especially for me. I thanked the cheerful lady and paid her modest fee.謝天謝地，我的擔心都是多余的。禮服仍跟以前一樣，不過現(xiàn)在我穿上正合適，仿佛它是為我度身定造的一樣。我謝過那個高興的女裁縫，并付了錢。One small problem solved just in time for a bigger one to emerge.
