An Unpleasant Trip

I went to Changsha for my holiday by train on the night of July 15th，2002. It was so hot in the carriage that many passengers wanted something to drink. Just then， a young man came to deliver water with a water jug in hand. “Water， water. Free water. ”shouted the young man.

　　A middle-aged woman asked for a glass of water and was very grateful to the young man. But after a while， two tall and strong men came to charge her five yuan for that glass of water. The middle-aged woman looked at them and took out a five-yuan note from one of her pockets slowly. Without a word， she handed the note to one of them， her eyes being filled with anger.

　　The carriage was silent. The two men went away without any sense of shame. “Robbers！” someone said in a low voice.

　　This was really an unpleasant trip I have ever had！

　　2002年7月15日晚，我乘火車去長沙度假。由於天氣很熱，車廂裡有很多乘客都想喝水。正好，一個年輕人提著水壺來送水。“水，水，免費供水。”年輕人大聲嚷著。

　　一位中年婦女喝了一盃水，非常感激他。可過了一會兒，來了兩個又高又壯的人曏她要5元水錢。中年婦女看著他們，慢慢地從兜裡掏出了5元紙幣給其中一個人。她什麽也沒說，眼裡充滿了憤怒。

　　車廂裡一片寂靜。那兩個人毫無愧色地走了。“強盜！”有人小聲說道。

　　這是我經歷過的一次不愉快的旅行。
