16 boat fare 擺渡費
there was once a boatman who earned his living by transporting passengers from one side of the riverbank to the other.
很久以前,有個擺渡的人,他用船把人們從岸的這邊送到對岸,以此賺錢為生。
one particular day, while he was resting, a businessman came and asked impolitely,“transport me to the opposite side of the river.”
有一天,他正在休息時,一個商人過來很不客氣地說:“把我送到對岸去!”
“yes, please come aboard,”answered the boatman.
“知道了,請上船吧。”艄公說。
“how much do you charge for the trip?”asked the businessman.
“擺渡費是多少?”商人說。
“eight coins each way,”answered the boatman.
“單程八文錢。”艄公答道。
