230 My tail's wagging 我在摇尾巴呢
On the way home from my job at the pet boarding kennel, I stopped at the grocery store. I was on line at the checkout counter with a full cart when I noticed a man on a longer line buying only two items. Without thinking, I did what I always do when calling to another of God's creatures—I whistled at him and commanded, “Come!” As the man got in line in front of me, he grumbled, “Lucky for you my tail's wagging.”
我从宠物狗寄宿站下班回家,途中在杂货店停留。我推着满满一车东西等着交款。这时候我看见一个人只买两样东西却排在更长的队伍里。我不假思索地用我所习惯的招呼上帝的另一种所造物的方式,对他吹口哨并且命令“来!”当那个人排到我这一队,并且插在我前面的时候,嘴里还嘟囔着说:“算你运气,我在摇尾巴呢。”
