The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come. 'Mr. Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice. 'Don't interrupt,' he said. Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra thousand pounds a year!

The secretary told me that Mr. Harmsworth would see me. I felt very nervous when I went into his office. He did not look up from his desk when I entered. After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad. He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries. Twenty people had already left. I knew that my turn had come.

秘书说哈姆斯沃思先生要见我。我走进他的办公室，心里十分紧张。他仍低头看着桌面，没抬头看我。 我坐下后，他说生意很不好，公司负担不起这么高的薪水，已经有二十人离职了。 我知道，这下轮到我了。“哈姆斯沃思先生……”我低声开口。 他却说：“别打断我。” 接着，他笑了，告诉我以后每年会多拿一千英镑！
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《好消息》：紧张地进办公室 → 听到经营困难 → 以为轮到自己 → 被打断 → 意外得到加薪。再借一个结构讲自己的事：把本课一句直接引语转述给第三个人，检查人称和时间是否仍然合理。
