格拉斯哥市有三家服装店,它们同在一条街上,而且门户相邻,这样,任何一家都常被其他两家抢去不少生意。有一天,第一家店的店主在门前贴出一张引人注目的告示:一八八一年开业,专卖上等服装。第二天,第三家店的店主也在门前贴出自己的告示:一九八一年开业,专卖最新服装。几天后,中间那家店的店主,在自己的门前贴出一张用粗体字写的告示:主要入口处。 Glasgow has three clothing stores, they are in the same street, and the door adjacent, so that any one is often the other two snatched a lot of business. One day, the owner of the first store posted a striking sign in front of the house: Opened in 1881, Monopoly on fine clothes. The next day, the owner of the third store also posted his own notice in front of the door: Opened in 1981, monopoly of the latest apparel. A few days later, the shopkeeper in the middle of the shop posted a notice in bold letters in front of her door: the main entrance.
