Sample Sentences

他嘱我路上小心，夜里警醒些，不要受凉。又嘱托茶房好好照应我。我心里暗笑他的迂；他们只认得钱，托他们直是白托！而且我这样大年纪的人，难道还不能料理自己么？唉，我现在想想，那时真是太聪明了！

He told me to take care of myself on the way, to be alert at night, to not catch a cold. Yet again he told the waiter to look after me.I laughed at his silliness in my heart because those people cared only for money; and it was useless to ask a favor from them. Besides, is someone my age unable to look after myself? Now I think back, I really was smug and self assured.
