阿亮正在楼里巡逻，突然发现自己的对讲机不见了。

他一拍口袋，什么也没有。

他小声说：“不会吧，我怎么又没有带好……”
He whispered, "No way… how did I lose track of it again…"
他赶紧回到前台问小美。
He hurried back to the front desk to ask Xiao Mei.
小美说她没有看到对讲机。
Xiao Mei said she hadn't seen the walkie-talkie.
阿亮着急地在桌下、椅子后面找。

小美看着他乱翻，忍不住笑了。
Xiao Mei watched him rummaging around and couldn't help laughing.
这时，一个清洁阿姨走来。
Just then, a cleaning lady walked over.
她举着对讲机说：“这个是谁掉的？”
She held up the walkie-talkie and said, "Who dropped this?"
阿亮的脸一下红了，说：“我…我刚才没有拿好。”
A Liang's face turned red as he said, "I… I didn't have a good grip on it just now."
