Track 73

Last Friday，after doing all the family shopping in town，I wanted to have a rest before catching the train. So I bought a newspaper and some chocolate，went into the station coffee shop and sat at a long table. I put my heavy bag down on the floor，put the newspaper and chocolate on the table，and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee，there was someone sitting next to me. It was one of those strange-looking young men，with dark glasses，torn clothes and long hair. But I wasn’t surprised at such a young man. What surprised me most was that he had started to eat my chocolate！
I was quite uneasy about him，but I didn’t want to get into trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me. Then he took a second piece of chocolate. Still I didn’t say anything. When he took a third piece，I felt more angry than uneasy. I thought，“Well，I shall have the last piece，”and I got it.
The boy gave me a strange look，then stood up. As he left，he shouted out，“This woman is crazy！”Everyone looked at me. That was embarrassing enough. But it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red when I found I had made a mistake.
It wasn’t my chocolate. Mine was just under my newspaper.

参考译文
上周五，我在城里买齐家里所需的全部东西后，想在乘火车前休息一下。所以我买了一张报纸和一些巧克力，走进车站的咖啡馆，在一张长桌旁坐下。我把沉重的包放在地上，把报纸和巧克力放在桌上，去买一杯咖啡。
当我端着咖啡回来时，我旁边多了个人。这是一个相貌奇怪的年轻人，戴着墨镜，穿着破衣服，留长发。但我对这样的年轻人并不感到吃惊。令我吃惊的是他开始吃我的巧克力。
我对他的举动感到很不自在，但我不想找麻烦。我只是垂下眼看报纸的头版，同时吃一小块巧克力。年轻人看了看我，接着他拿起第二块巧克力，我还是什么也没说。当他拿第三块巧克力时，我的感觉已经不是不自在，而是愤怒了。我想：“好吧，我要吃掉最后一块巧克力。”并且这么做了。
年轻人奇怪地看了我一眼，然后起身。他离开时嘴里嚷着：“这个女人疯了！”所有人都看着我，那是个非常令人难堪的场面。但当我喝完咖啡准备离开时，更糟的情况出现了。当我发现自己犯了错误，我的脸变得通红。
那不是我的巧克力，我的就在报纸下面。
