Granted , I acted counter to this by not buying that t-shirt from the boy in palmyra , but , as I think about it now , what would it have harmed if I had ?
当然,当我在帕尔米拉时,我没有买那个男孩的t恤,但是现在想起来,就算我买了又能吃什么亏呢?
In palmyra , syria , I once refused to buy a $ 4 t-shirt from a child hawker , prompting his outraged query : " why are americans so cheap ? "
