不幸中之万幸

I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down.

我走进饭店经理的办公室,坐了下来。

I had just lost £50 and I felt very upset.

‘I left the money in my room, ’ I said, 'and it's not there now. '

“我把钱放在房间里,”我说,“可现在没有了。”

The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing.

‘Everyone's losing money these days, ' he said.

“现在大家都在丢钱,”他说。
