补足脱漏，But that's the way it is 意义彰显

(This message refers to 民办：读书评译（１３）：什么时候“就是这样”? and
is already posted in that thread)

正如民办君怀疑的，冯书引文有脱漏。现将原文有关部分照引如下：

I didn't want to wear a cap. I don't know why. I always take it off.
He comes by, I put it on. He goes away, I take if off. Off and on, off
and on. But that's the way it is. (Terkel: Working, p.180)

这样看来，But that's the way it is 不过是说，“我当时就是这么着 (您别
奇怪)。这句是该段落的末句。下一段讲别的事。

”Terkel 的 Working 一书，是各类从业人员的口述记录。在讲述过去
的事情时，时不时转换到现在时。另一段 (全段)：

One time I felt lousy, I had hay fever. I was on the elevator, I say,
low, "Good morning" to the man. And he says to me, "Don't you say good
morning?" I say, "I did say good morning." 'Cause I had hay fever and I
feel bad. He didn't spoke to me no more and he cut me off for Christmas.
But I didn't care. It was about 1932, '33. See how people are.

• 我也是来补漏的。正好借您的地一用………之前，POW有一句：The pitcher will go to the well once too often。我刚买了一本《俗语词典》（商务印书馆出，正好可补我词穷），其中翻到一句：瓦罐不离井上破，将军多在阵前亡。正好对译此句。 - Last Hermit 20001007115637
