All's Well That Ends Well

善终为善
On the way back from the embassy, Kathy and Evan stop in a city park.
K:Oh. Evan. I'm so embarrassed! I can't believe I misplaced my passport.
E:Well, I guess you've learned a good lesson from all this.
K:You bet I have! For one thing, I'm going to keep a close eye on my passport and other travel documents from now on.
E:That's good. Anything else?
K:Yes! I'm going to put away my clothes as soon as I return to the hostel each time. If I hadn't just thrown my coat onto the bed the other day, I might have checked the pockets before hanging it up.
E:That would have been a good idea. It's good to be organized.
K:I envy you, Evan. You're always so well-organized.
E:Well, remember what I told you at the beginning of the trip?
K:Uh, you mean, "Always be prepared"?
E:That's right. Gee, Kathy, it's kind of chilly. Let's head back to the hostel. Then we can have dinner, OK?
K:OK. And tonight it's my treat!
E:That's the best idea you've had today!

从大使馆回来的路上，凯西和艾凡在一座市立公园停下来。
凯西：哦，艾凡。我好尴尬哦！真不敢相信我竟然忘记我把护照放哪儿了。
艾凡：嗯，我猜这一番折腾让你得到了一个很好的教训。
凯西：那还用说！举一个例子吧，从现在开始，我会紧盯着我的护照和其它旅游文件。
艾凡：太好了。还有别的吗？
凯西：有！以后一回旅社我就会收拾我的衣服。如果前几天我不是回去就把衣服往床上丢的话，我就会在挂外套前检查口袋了。
艾凡：要是当时你那么想就好了。有条有理是不会错的。
凯西：艾凡，我好羡慕你。你一向很有条理。
艾凡：嗯，记得我在这趟旅行一开始时告诉过你的话吗？
凯西：呃，你是说：“随时有备”吗？
艾凡：没错。咦，凯西，有点冷了。咱们回旅社去吧。然后我们可以吃晚饭，好吗？
凯西：好的。今晚我请客！
艾凡：这是你今天所提的最好的主意！
