I'm not having it all cut off

沒把頭髮全剪掉啊

Miles sometime went to the barber's during working hours to have his hair cut. But this was against the office rules: clerks had to have their hair cut in their own time. While Miles was at the barber's one day, the manager of the office came in by chance to have his own hair cut and sat just beside him.

麥爾斯有時在上班時間去理髮館理髮,但這是違反辦公室規定的:職員只能利用自己的時間理髮。一天,正當麥爾斯理髮時,經理碰巧也進來理髮,而且就坐在他旁邊。

"Hello, Miles," the manager said. "I see that you are having your hair cut in office time."

"你好,麥爾斯,"經理說。"我看到你在上班時間理髮了。"

"Yes, sir, I am," admitted Miles calmly. "You see, sir, it grows in office time."

"是的,先生。正是這樣。"麥爾斯平靜地承認了。"可先生,你看,頭髮是在上班時間長的。"

"Not all of it," said the manager at once. "Some of it grows in your own time."

"不全都是吧,"經理立刻說,"有一些是在你自己的時間裏長的。"

"Yes, sir, that's quite true." Answered Miles politely, "but I'm not having it all cut off."

"對呀,先生,你說得很對。"麥爾斯禮貌地回答說,"但我並沒有把頭髮全都剪掉啊。"
