On the way home from visiting relatives, two of my very proper sisters stopped at a casino — not to play the slot machines, mind you, just to check out the place. "So did you do any gambling?" I teased.

"Well," Kitty said cagily. "I had a cup of coffee. Dotty had a Coke."

走完亲戚,，我的两个平时非常规矩的姐姐在回家的路上进了趟赌场 —不是去玩赌博机，请注意，只是进去看看。

“你们赌钱了吗？”（她们出来时）， 我逗她们说。

“呃” Kitty 机灵地说，“我喝了杯10美元的咖啡， Dotty 喝了一杯50美元的可乐。”
