本文為一篇記敘文,按照事件發(fā)生的先后順序?qū)懗伞Vv述銀行發(fā)生的一件事情,主人公為一個(gè)小孩報(bào)打不平,更加強(qiáng)自己對銀行的偏見,后來才發(fā)現(xiàn)原來是官方的保護(hù)才這么做的。
The boy continued to hold my my attention because of what happened next.
He was holding an open savings-account book and wearing an expression of open dismay. " But I don' t understand," he was saying to the officer. "I opened the account myself, so why can't I withdraw any money? "
"I've already explained to you ", the officer told him, "that a fourteen-year-old is not allowed to withdraw money without a letter from his parents".
"But that doesn't seem fair," the boy said,his voice breaking. " It' s my money.I put it in. It' s my account."
"I know it is, " the officer said, "but those are the rules. Now if you'll excuse me. "
He turned to me with a smile. "May I help you, sir? "
接下來發(fā)生的事情讓我繼續(xù)關(guān)注那個(gè)男孩。他拿著一張翻開的儲蓄存折,神情沮喪失望?!暗俏也幻靼祝彼麑δ莻€(gè)職員說道,“我自己開的戶,可為什么我不能取錢呢?”
“我已經(jīng)向你解釋過了,”那位職員對他說, “ 沒有父母寫的信函,一個(gè)14歲的孩子是不允許取錢的。”
“但那聽起來不公平,“那個(gè)男孩說,都語不成聲了,“那是我的錢,是我存的,是我的賬戶?!? “我知道,”那個(gè)職員說,“但那是銀行的規(guī)定,請?jiān)??!? 他轉(zhuǎn)向我,面帶微笑地對我說:“先生,我能為您做點(diǎn)什么?”
