Peter ask the Italian for an estimate; he answered immediately without looking over the job at all—2600。 Asked how he came up with that figure he answered; “Simple; 1000 for you。 1000 for me; and 600 to get the low bidder over there to do the work。”
省 錢
美國人亨利來到倫敦度假。
有一天,他感覺不舒服,便來到旅館服務檯向服務員諮詢:“我想看病,你能幫我找一位好醫生嗎?”
服務員翻閱了一下本子,然後說:“肯尼思·格雷醫生,61010。”
亨利說:“非常感謝,他看病收費貴嗎?”
“喔,”服務員回答說,“初診患者收費2英鎊,複診收費英鎊。”
亨利琢磨著能省下50便士,於是,他去看病時對醫生說:“我又來了,醫生。”
醫生一言不發地端詳著他的面容,過了一會兒點點頭說道:“哦,對。”醫生給亨利做完檢查後說:“病情得到了控制,繼續吃上次我給你的藥就可以了。”
Save Money
Henry was from the United States and he had e to London for a holiday。
One day he was not feeling well; so he went to the clerk at the desk of his hotel and said; “I want to see doctor。 Can you give me the name of a good one?”
The clerk looked in a book and then said; “Dr。 Kenneth Grey; 61010。 ”
Henry said; “Thank yon very much。 Is he expensive?’”
“Well;” the clerk answered;“he always charges his patients two pounds for their first visit to him; and one pound and 50 pennies for later visits。”
Henry decided to save 50 pennies; so when he went to see the doctor; he said; “I’ve e again; doctor。 ”
For a few seconds the doctor looked at his face carefully without saying anything。 Then he nodded and said;“Oh; yes。” He examined him and then said;“Everything’s going as it should do。 Just continue with the medicine I gave you last time。”
