原版英文小故事 03 Don’t Be in a Hurry
点此试听Chelsea was a saleswoman. She worked for a medical equipmentChelsea ended up leaving the hospital half an hour later than she had planned. Then, of course, she got stuck in Friday evening rush hour. She was going to be late for her date, but the nearby mountains blocked her cell phone from calling Sebastian and telling him.
She was already irritated, and things seemed to be getting worse. Then all the traffic stopped. Chelsea drove immediately over to the emergency lane and continued driving along it. She was making good progress. She couldn’t believe she was the only one in the emergency lane. Usually several cars would follow her lead. Then she saw the red flashing lights in her rearview mirror. The officer pulled her over and walked up alongside her car. He was young and good-looking. Chelsea felt better.
“Do you know why I pulled you over, ma’am?”
“Yes, officer. I’m illegally in the emergency lane.”
“Is there a reason that you are in the emergency lane?”
“Officer, my boyfriend left me after he got me pregnant. I have constant morning sickness. I’m just trying to get to the nearest store to buy my medicine.” She looked at him imploringly, with big, sweet, innocent eyes.
