Lesson 60:The future
卜算未来
Does what Madam Bellinsky said come
true?
At a village
fair, I decided to visit a fortune-teller called
Madam Bellinsky. I went into her tent and she told
me to sit
down. After I had given her
some money, she looked into a crystal ball and
said: 'A
relation of yours is coming to
see you.
She will be arriving this
evening and
intends to stay for a few
days. The moment you leave this tent, you will get
a
big
surprise. A
woman you know well will rush towards you. She
will speak to you and then she will lead you away
from this
place. That is all.'
As soon as I went outside, I forgot all
about Madam Bellinsky because my wife hurried
towards me. 'Where have you
been
hiding?' she asked impatiently. 'Y
our
sister will be here
in less than an
hour and we must be at the station to meet her.
We are late already.' As she walked
away, I followed her out of the fair.

在一个乡村集市上，我决定去拜访一位称作别林斯夫人的算命人。我走进她的帐篷，她叫我坐
下。我给了她一
些钱后，她便查看着一个水晶球说道：
“您的一
个亲戚就要来看您了。她将于今天傍晚到达，并准备住上几天。您
一走出这个帐篷，就会
大吃一惊。一位您很熟悉的女人将向您冲来。她会对您说点什么，然后带您离开这个地方。
