有个叫威伯的年轻人,是美国费城电力公司的一名推销员。有一次,他到乡村去推销用电。走到一户阔气的人家,户主是个上了年纪的老妇人,她一见是电力公司来推销电的,就把门关闭了。一看事情不妙,威伯就说：“很抱歉,打扰了您,我也知道您对用电不感兴趣。所以,我这次来不是推销用电的,而是来买鸡蛋的。” There is a young man named Wilbur, a salesman at Philadelphia Power Company. Once, he went to the village to sell electricity. Walking to a lavish home, the head of the household was an elderly woman who closed the door as soon as she saw the electricity company selling electricity. A look at things is not good, Wilbur said: “I’m sorry to disturb you, I also know that you are not interested in electricity, so I’m not here to sell electricity, but to buy eggs.”
