Many of the tourists on board had begun bargaining with the tradesmen, but I decided not to buy anything. I had no sooner got off the    36   than I was stopped by a man who wanted to   37   me a diamond ring. I had no   38   of buying one, but I could not deny the fact that I was   39   by the size of the diamonds. Some of them were as   40   as marbles (玻璃球). The man went to great lengths to   41   that the diamonds were real. As   42  walked past a shop, he held a diamond   43   against the window and made a deep impression in the   44  . It took me over half an hour to get rid of him.

The next man to   45   me was selling expensive pens and watches. I   46   one of the pens closely. It certainly looked   47  . At the base of the gold cap, the words “made in the USA” had been clearly   48  . The man said that the pen was worth ￡50, but as a special    49  ,  he would let me have it for ￡30. I   50   my head and held up five fingers indicating that I was willing to pay ￡5. Gesturing wildly, the man acted as if he found my   51    shocking, but he eventually   52   the price to ￡10. Shrugging my shoulders, I began to walk away. A moment later, he ran after me and   53   the pen into my hands. Though he kept throwing up his arms in despair, he   54   accepted the ￡5 I gave him. I felt especially pleased with my wonderful   55   --- until I got back to the ship. No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to fill this beautiful pen with ink！
