A: Jim, why did you run out and shut(关上) the door like that?
B: (1) But I can explain（解释）.
A: Well, I can understand, but tell me what happened.
B: There’s a long story to tell.
A: (2)
B: To be honest, you did, I think.
A: OK. Maybe you’re right. But can you tell me what you did with the money?
B: Our dog was sick. (3) So I took him to the vet(兽医) with the money alone.
A: Then what about the mess in the house?
B: I didn’t have time to clean it up. (4)
A: I see. It’s my fault(过失). I should have listened to you before I shouted at you.
B: (5) Thank you, Mom.
I am glad you can say that. What’s happened? You’re always right. I’m sorry. Do you mean I made a mistake? You and Dad were busy working in the office. I was looking after the dog all the time. |
