我利用假期到富兰克林的书店里打工。有一天,一位犹豫了将近一个小时的男人终于开口问我了:“请问这本书多少钱?”“一元钱”我回答说。“一元钱?”这人又问,“请问你能不能再少要点?”“它的价格就是一元钱。”我觉得没有别的可回答。这位顾客又看了一会儿,然后又问:“请问富兰克林先生在吗?” I used my holiday to work in Franklin’s bookstore. One day, a man who hesitated for nearly an hour finally asked me: “How much is this book?” “One dollar,” I answered. “One dollar?” the man asked again. “Is there any point you can ask?” “Its price is a dollar.” I think there is nothing else I can answer. The customer took another look, then asked again: “Is Mr. Franklin here?”
