26. A New Tattoo 新纹身
Kevin Turner wanted to get a tattoo. He couldn't wait to get his first one. Tattoos are expensive. Kevin couldn't afford to go to a professional. "Don't worry," said his friend. "I know a guy who will do it for free". Kevin wasn't sure that was safe. He agreed to it anyways.
凯文特纳想弄个纹身,他等不及要纹上他的第一个纹身了。纹身很贵,凯文没钱去专业的纹身店。“别担心”他的朋友说,“我知道有个人可以免费纹身”。凯文不确定那是否安全,但总之他还是答应了。
Kevin asked the tattooist to draw a rose on his arm. The tattoo hurt a lot. Kevin couldn't take the pain. He shut his eyes tightly. He did not open them until the tattoo was finished. "What is that?" yelled Kevin. "It's a rose!" said the tattooist. It looked more like a rock to Kevin. He never got a free tattoo again.
凯文让纹身师在他手臂上纹个玫瑰。纹身是很痛的,凯文受不了这种痛苦,直到纹身结束前他都一直闭着眼睛。“这是什么啊!”凯文大喊道,“这是玫瑰啊”纹身师说。但是凯文觉得它看起来更像是石头。凯文从此再也不要免费的纹身了。
