拔牙的代价
张亚荣
[英语原文]
“Im sorry,Madam,but I shall have to charge you twenty dollars for pulling your boys tooth.”
“Twenty dollars!Why,I understand you to say that you charged only four dollars for such work!”
“Yes,but this youngster yelled so terribly that he scared four other patients out of the office.”
[汉语翻译]
“对不起,夫人,为您孩子拔牙我要收取20美元。”
“20美元!为什么?你说好只要4美元的!”
“是的,但是您的孩子大喊大叫,把另外4个病人吓跑了。”
[小幽默大智慧]
这个牙科医生真会算数,将自己的损失算在那个大喊大叫的孩子身上。遇到这样的医生,孩子的妈妈可真是百口莫辩,有苦难言!
