尴尬之情:阅览室里得到的教训-A Lesson Learned in the Reading-room

阅览室里得到的教训
【内容提示】
你们学校阅览室的座位不多，因此同学们总要预先去占座位。有一次，你去阅览室迟了，座位上已经坐满了人。突然，你发现有一处空着。走过去一看，桌上放着一本书。你把书往旁边一推就坐下了。过了一会，书的主人回来了要此座位，你强词夺理说是你占的座位。不料，旁边的同学都帮那位同学说话，弄得你下不了台，只好退出阅览室。

A Lesson Learned in the Reading-room
There are not enough seats in the reading-room in our school. Just because of this, I had a very special experience that I shall never forget.
One day, I was annoyed ① by the hot weather. After drinking a bottle of water, I ran fast towards the reading-room.
When I pushed the door open, I saw what I expected. There was no empty seat. I looked very carefully at every corner, hoping to find one, but it seemed hopeless. Suddenly I caught sight of an empty seat with a book on it. I knew it must have been “occupied②”by someone, but I was eager to sit down to have a rest after running. So I put the book on the other side of the table, and sat down.
About 10 minutes later, I heard a very low voice behind me. “Excuse me, sister. I'm afraid that this seat is mine.”“What? It's yours? How can you say that?” The little girl seemed a little nervous. “I remember I put my book on this desk before lunch,”she said. “Please don't draw a conclusion so quickly before you have enough evidence ③! ”I said in a loud voice. It made nearly everyone in the room turn their heads towards me. I felt a little embarrassed.
Just then, a student next to me said,“To tell the truth, this seat is really the little girl's. I think you should give it to her.” My face turned red at once. I can't describe how I felt at that moment, and I don't remember how I went out of the room with my books before so many eyes.
This happened 4 years ago. Since then I have often asked myself if I have done anything without considering other people's rights.
