原文
The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come. "Mr. Harmsworth," I said in a weak voice. "Don‘t interrupt," he said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive and extra thousand pounds a year!
译文
秘书告诉我说哈姆斯沃斯先生要见我。我很焦虑的走进他的办公室。当我进去的时候，他没有抬头看我。在我坐下的时候，他和我说道，现在经济形势不好。他告诉我因为付不起那么多的工资，有20个人已经离开了。我知道现在轮到我了。“哈姆斯沃斯先生”， 我无力地说。 “不要打断，”他说。接下来他笑着对我说，我比之前每年可以多拿1000英镑额外收入。
