外國最新英語幽默笑話精粹167：賺錢(中英)
A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money.
一個年輕人向一位老富翁請教如何賺錢。
The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said，"Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel. I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and，at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents. The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month，by the end of which I’d accumulated a fortune of $1 .37. Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars.”
這個老人指著自己那破舊的羊毛馬甲說:“看，孩子，這是1932年的。在經濟大蕭條時期，我窮困到只剩一個硬幣了。我用它買了一個蘋果，并用一天的時間把這個蘋果擦亮，到了晚上，我把這個蘋果賣掉了，得到了10美分。第二天，我用這10美分買了兩個蘋果，又用了一天的時間把它們擦亮，晚上5點多的時候，我把蘋果賣20美分。這樣干了一個月之后，我幸運的積累到了1. 37美元。然后，我妻子的父親去世了，留給了我們200萬美元的遺產。”
