笑话原文】

Chatting away

Pushing my cart up a supermarket aisle, I came upon a woman chatting away on her cell phone. There was barely enough room to squeeze by her, and she seemed to be having trouble maneuvering² her cart out of the way.

“I’ve got to go,” I heard her say to the person on the other end. “I’ll call you back from the next aisle.”

中文译文】
