英漢雙語笑話：Keep the Change 零錢不用找了
keep the change
selling secondhand books at our church bazaar, i got into an argument with a prospective customer. he was interested in buying the pocket book of ogden nash but claimed it was overpriced at 35 cents. other paperbacks were selling for ten or 15 cents each.
i pointed out that the book was in good condition. nash was a fun poet, and it was for a good cause. he said it was a matter of principle. ultimately, i agreed to sell him the book for 15 cents. triumphant, he paid with a $10 bill. "keep the change," he said.
零錢不用找了
在教堂的義賣市上賣舊書時(shí)，我與一名準(zhǔn)備買東西的顧客發(fā)生了一場(chǎng)爭(zhēng)論。他對(duì)購(gòu)買袖珍奧金.納什集頗感興趣，但是說它要三十五美分開價(jià)過高。其它的平裝書每本才賣十或十五美分。
我指出這本書保存狀況頗好，納什是個(gè)有趣的詩人，這個(gè)要價(jià)是合理的。他說這是個(gè)原則問題。最終，我同意以十五美分的價(jià)格將這本書賣給他。他得意洋洋，拿出一張十美元的票子付帳。“零錢不用找了。”他說。
