Persistent

原文

I crossed the street to avoid meeting him, but he saw me and came running towards me. It was no use pretending that I had not seen him, so I waved to him. I never enjoy meeting Nigel Dykes. He never has anything to do. No matter how busy you are, he always insists on coming with you. I had to think of a way of preventing him from following me around all morning. "Hello, Nigel," I said. "Fancy meeting you here!" "Hi, Elizabeth," Nigel answered. "I was just wondering how to spend the morning -- until I saw you. You're not busy doing anything, are you?" "No, not at all," I answered. "I'm going to ..." "Would you mind my coming with you?" he asked, before I had finished speaking. "Not at all," I lied, "but I'm going to the dentist." "Then I'll come with you," he answered. "These's always plenty to read in the waiting room!"

译文

我穿过街道避免看到他，但是他看到我之后并向我跑来。这样我就不能假装没有看到他，所以我只能向他招了招手。我不太喜欢见到奈杰尔.戴克斯。他老是无事可做的样子。不管你多忙，他都会坚决要求跟你同行。我得想办法阻止他跟着我一上午。“你好，奈杰尔，”我说道。“想不到在这里见到你！” “你好，伊丽莎白。”奈杰尔回到道。“我正在想怎么度过这个上午 －－ 直到看到你。你现在不忙，是吗？” “不，我很忙。”我回答道。“我要到。。。” ”我能和你一起去吗？“在我还没有说完他问道。”好吧，“我遍了个谎，”但是我是去看牙医。“ ”那我还是跟着你，“他说道。”候诊室里总会有很多东西可供阅读！“
