Have you ever done something foolish that made you feel so embarrassed (尴尬的)?
Well, that’s exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn. I had gone to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home, it suddenly began to rain. At once, I ran into a nearby phone box because I didn’t have an umbrella. It was raining so heavily that I had to stay in the phone box until it stopped.
A few moments later, I saw a young man walk up to the phone box, wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain, so I picked up the phone and pretended (假装) I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away, but he didn’t. He just waited in the pouring rain, watching me wave my hands about and act as if I was deep in conversation.
Luckily, it began to stop after about twenty minutes. “Okay, Mum,” I said loudly into the phone,“I’ll see you later. Bye!” I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box. “I’m sorry I took so long,” I said to the man.
“Oh, it doesn’t matter,” he replied, smiling. “I’ve just come to repair it. It’s out of order, you see.” I felt myself go bright red in the face and I hurried away with my head down, feeling a complete fool. That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!
