是的。我不知道坏事为什么总是找上我。你看，我的汽车被偷了，货仓也被盗了。我弄不明白怎么会发生这些倒霉事。

B: Yeah. I don't know why bad things keep happening to me. You see, my car was stolen and the warehouse had been broken into. I can't put my finger on the causes of this damned thing.

在以前的时代，将发生的事这些：你打电话去为就餐预定座位，人们用铅笔在书里做标记(也总是用铅笔，以便在需要修改时擦掉)。

In the old days here's what happened: you phoned up to book a table, and somebody made a mark in a book with a pencil (always a pencil, so it could be rubbed out if the need arose).
