Boring Request

The customer ordering a floral arrangement from my shop was giving me very specific guidelines. "Nothing fragrant," she instructed. "Nothing too tall or too wild. And no bright colors, please. My house is decorated in beige and cream. Here is a wallpaper sample." She handed me a plain square of tan-colored paper.

"Your name?" I asked.

"Mrs. Bland," the woman replied.

 

无聊的要求

      一名顾客从我的花店订插花，她给我详细地讲述要求。“不要太香的”她要求，“不要太高，不要太杂。颜色不能太亮。我的房子的装修是米色和乳白色的。这里有一张墙纸的样板”。她递给我一张黄褐色的普通的方形的纸。
     “您怎么称呼？”我问。
     “Bland太太’，那位女士回答。
