Because most books aren`t worth that much
,libraries generally ask a $25
overdue fee for one book ,so that you won`t be able to borrow another book
until you`ve paid the fine.But in fact some borrowers don`t come back to
pay his fine.
But recently ,one borrower decided to return what he should pay his high
school library.The man checked out two library books he borrowed in 1958 from his high school,and forgot to return them.51 years later,he was clearing out some of his things form his parents` house when he came across the two books,now dusty with age.So he sent the books back to his old school--along with a letter and a big overdue fee.“I`ve sent the money to cover my fault,” the letter read.“At 0.02 cents per day it works out at $745.00 for 51 years,” the letter said.“I`ve sent along a few more dollars in case the rates changed.” He paid $1,000-enough to buy quite a few new books for the library.
It`s never too late to correct a mistake.求翻译
Because most books aren`t worth that much
大多数书籍不值那么多钱,图书馆一般收取每本25美元的逾期费,因此你在付清罚款之前,是无法借另一本书的.但是事实上,一些借书者不会回来支付罚金.
近期,一名借书者决定向他的高中支付应该缴纳的罚金.他曾在1958年从图书馆借出两本书,而忘了将它们还回去.51年后,当在整理他父母的房子时,他偶然发现了这两本书.书籍由于历时过久而布满灰尘.后来他把这两本书,连同一封信和一大笔逾期费送回了他的高中.“我已经支付了费用来弥补我的过失,”那封信如是说,“按每天0.02美分算,51年后总计745美元.我还多寄了一些钱,以免汇率的变化”.他最终支付了1000美元——足够让图书馆买不少新书.
亡羊补牢,为时不晚.
