    Why did the writer complain to the people behind him?

    Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily.
    'It's none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'

參考譯文

    上星期我去看戲。我的座位很好，戲很有意思，但我卻無法欣賞。一青年男子與一青年女子坐在我的身后，大聲地說著話。我非常生氣，因為我聽不見演員在說什么。我回過頭去怒視著那一男一女，他們卻毫不理會。最后，我忍不住了，又一次回過頭去，生氣地說：“我一個字也聽不見了！”
    “不關(guān)你的事，”那男的毫不客氣地說，“這是私人間的談話！”
