With that many meetings every day, with tea offered at every one of them, which he could not refuse, because that would be rude, he could not take even one cube of sugar per cup of tea, because that would be many kilos of sugar, he can't even calculate how many kilos, and at that point I realized why he was speaking so fast.
Avec autant de rencontres tous les jours et du thé offert à chaque fois, -- comme il serait impoli de refuser -- il ne pouvait même pas prendre un sucre avec son thé. Parce que ça ferait bien trop de sucre, il ne pouvait calculer combien de kilos... A ce moment j'ai compris pourquoi il parlait si vite.
