小幽默四則(2)
France: Too polite
A French lady frequently visited a small antique shop but rarely purchased anything. Furthermore, she always found fault with the merchandise and prices. The manager and her salesclerk took the lady's grumpy complaints in their stride, but one day she really went too far.
“Why is it I never manage to get what I ask for in your shop?” demanded the lady.
A smile on her face, the clerk calmly replied, “Perhaps it's because we're too polite.”
法國:太有禮貌
有位法國女士經(jīng)常光顧一家小古董店,但幾乎從不買什么東西。而且,她總是對商品和價格吹毛求疵。對于那位女士的粗暴埋怨,經(jīng)理和她的銷售員總是輕易應付一下就了事,但是有一天她未免做得太過分了。
“為什么在你們店里我從來都沒找到過我想要的東西?”那名女士指責說。
女店員臉上帶著微笑,沉著地回答道:“也許是因為我們太有禮貌了。”
