Простите, не поняла
После работы заскочила в супермаркет. Стою в молочном отделе, выбираю творог без добавки соли. Ко мне подходят две хорошо одетые женщины средних лет, и одна из них что то спрашивает меня на жутком ломанном английском. Я хорошо помню то время, когда их месте была я, поэтому приветливо улыбнулась им и очень медленно и отчётливо попросила её повторить. Женщина повернулась к своей подруге и сказала, на чистейшем русском языке: "Люся, эта корова меня не поняла!". Я улыбнулась ещё приветливее, и сказала: "А вы спросите корову по русски, она поймёт". Убежали :)
I stopped at the grocery store after work. Two well dressed middle aged women approached me while I was looking for salt free cottage cheese, and one of them asked me something in heavily accented English. Since I remember what it's like to be in their place, I smiled encouragingly and very slowly asked her to repeat it. The woman turned to her friend and said in Russian: "Lyucia, this cow didn't understand me!". I smiled even wider and said: "Why don't you ask the cow in Russian, she will understand". They ran away :)
