I can't believe what I did. I forgot to pay my rent this month, I got a call from my landlady this morning and she was furious, I usually give her about 6 month's worth of postdated checks and she deposits them on the 1st of the month, but I guess she ran out I forget to give her more. I feel like such an idiot.

　　我不敢相信自己会那么猪头，居然忘了缴这个月的房租。今天早上接到女房东气呼呼打来的电话。我通常给她6个月的远期支票，她则会在每个月第一天把支票存进去，但我想她应该是钱用完了，而我又忘了把钱给她，真是够糊涂的。

　　She was yelling at me on the phone, telling me how irresponsible I am. But I have never enen been late with the rent before and I have lived in that place for over a year now. I promised to pay her tonight as soon as I am finished work, but it didn't seem to make her happy. I don't know what else I can do. It's not like I am skipping out on my rent.

　　她在电话里对我吼来吼去，说我怎么那么不负责任。再怎么说，我以前都没有迟交过房租，而且也住了一年多了。我答应今晚一下班就把房租给她，可是这好像没令她高兴。不然要我怎么办?我又不是故意不交房租的，就是不小心忘了嘛!

　　It just slipped my mind. I feel really bad about this. It sucls to be yelled at. She was really nasty to me. I don't think she is being very fair or mature. And she could have reminded me last month that she needed me to drop off more checks. Everyone makes mistakes. I just hope I don't get evicted because of this. I love my apartment!

　　这件事弄得我心情超级不爽。被人吼的感觉真不是滋味。她对我的态度真的很恶劣，我觉得这样不太公平，也让人觉得她很不成熟。或许她上个月有提醒我要付支票吧。可是谁不会犯错呀?我只希望她不会因为这件事把我赶出去。我可是很喜欢这间公寓的!

　　英语评论1：

　　Maybe she just had a bad day. I hope everything workes out okay.

　　可能她刚好今天不顺吧。希望一切都能圆满解决。

　　英语评论2：

　　That's happened to me once or twice,too. I think those people just have to be strict, because otherwise people would “foeget” their rent checks all the time. Try not to take it personally.

　　这种事我也发生过一两次。我想那些人不严厉一点也不行，不然会有很多人老是“忘记”房租支票的事。这种事不是针对你一个人啦，不要太放在心上。

　　英语评论3：

　　She sounds like a miserable old witch. Don't listen to her and don't let her bother you.

　　她听起来像个悲惨的老巫婆。不要理她，更不要让一她困扰你。
