Question

求一篇英语阅读理解

说是一个人拿着银质的东西，还叫他坐下来，说自己的钱都要被拿走，貌似还有什么腿在抖。最后一句话说的好象是.cut the sides of my ears amd shorten the top.个人觉得这是一个O.HENRY ENDING,但是据悉，老师的答案好象是个谋杀，所以跪地求解····
（附有原文解达是最最好的！！！）
貌似悲剧了···

Answer 1

I stood without moving, the door closed behind me, the walls hard and silent on both sides and him in front of me, looking into my face. His empty eyes grew a smile when he realized he would soon have all the money in my wallet. Looking downwards at his hands, I saw him take out a sharp, silvery object. Then in a soft, low voice he said, “Come over here.” Although I felt collecting of wetness on my forehead, collapsing of feeling in my stomach like a balloon losing air and shiver（颤抖） of fear in my legs, now it was impossible to escape, so I fell into a chair beside him. Though as far as I know he would soon cut me, I raised my courage enough to say, “A little off the sides around my ears and shorten the top.”

是这篇文章吧？

“描述的是一次抢劫事件，后来作者鼓起勇气说‘A little off the sides around my ears and shorten the top.”’来争取和劫匪谈判”
这貌似是官方答案
但是我觉得这篇文章很像在以幽默的口吻讲述自己害怕剪发的故事，比如说“so I fell into a chair beside him”，抢劫谋杀什么的旁边有个椅子未免太滑稽了吧?而且最后一句话貌似理解为“把我耳朵两边的头发剪短，再把头顶打薄点”比较符合常理……

但是这篇阅读的答案貌似全部都是作为一篇抢劫案来做的，我觉得你明天可以去和老师争辩啊，知道老师如何解释后告诉我^_^
