英語幽默小故事帶翻譯：An expensive investment 昂貴的投資（中英雙語）
144. An expensive investment
144.昂貴的投資
A father had four sons. One went to the big city,where he became a wealthy businessman，the other three remained in their home town. When their father passed away,the successful son was too busy to attend the funeral，but he told his brothers to spare no expense，since he would pay all the costs.
一位父親有四個兒子。一個兒子到了大城市成了一位富商，另外三個兒子留在了家鄉。當父親過世時，有錢的兒子太忙無法前來參加葬禮。但他吩咐其兄弟們，不要舍不得花錢，一切費用由他來支付。
Shortly thereafter，the wealthy son received an bill for $5,000 from the funeral director，which he paid. But every month afterward he got a bill for $27. Curious about this little item, he wrote to his brothers and asked the reason for the monthly charge.”You told us that we should spare no expense，“his brothers wrote back.“Since you said Dad would like to be in style，we rented him a tuxedo."
事隔不久，做富商的兒子從殯儀館主管那兒收到了一張5000美元的發票，他付了帳。從這以后，他每月都收到一張27美元的帳票。他對這筆微薄的開銷有點兒好奇，于是就寫信給其兄弟，想知道其中的原因。
他的兄弟們寫回信告訴他:“你告訴我們不必節省。既然你說爸爸的穿著要高稚脫俗，所以我們為他租了一套黑色禮服。”
