My wife and I went to the airport to meet some friends. Their plane landed but they weren’t on it. “Let’s see if there is a message for us,” my wife said. “They may have missed the plane. Or perhaps they have been prevented from (阻止) coming for some reason.”
After asking for information at the information desk without success, I had an idea. “Do you still have their letter?” I asked my wife. She found it in her handbag.
“Here you are,” she said. “We’re arriving at 10 o’clock on the 7th and would you like to meet us?”
“But today’s the 6th,” I said. “We should have looked at the date before. If we had, we wouldn’t have had this journey for nothing.”
“How silly!” my wife said. “I have been carrying this letter around for days without looking at it.”
