The notorious cheap skate finally decided to have a party. Explaining to a friend how to find his apartment, he said," Come up to 5 M and ring the doorbell with your elbow. When the door open, push with your foot."
一个出了名的吝啬鬼终于决定要请一次客了。他在向一个朋友解释怎么找到他家时说:“你上到五楼,找中间那个门,然后用你的胳膊肘按门铃。门开了之后,再用你的脚把门推开。”
" Why use my elbow and foot?"
“为什么要用我的肘和脚呢?”
" Well, gosh," was the reply," You're not coming empty-hangded, are you?"
“你的双手得拿礼物啊。天哪,你总不会空着手来吧?”吝啬鬼回答。
评:你的身边是否也有这样一位 mean man呢?你对他或者对吝啬这种行为是什么看法呢?
