张亚丽 [英语原文] Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. “What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday？” “I gave it to a poor old woman.” he answered. “Youre a good boy，” said the mother proudly， “Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman？”“She is the one who sells the candy.” [汉语翻译] 小罗伯特向妈妈要两分钱。 “昨天我给你的钱你用去干什么了？” “我把它给了一个可怜的老太婆。”他回答说。 “你真是个好孩子，”妈妈骄傲地说，“我再给你两分钱。可你为什么对那个老太太那么感兴趣呢？” “她是个卖糖果的。” [小幽默大智慧] 小罗伯特向妈妈要钱，妈妈痛快地给了他，因为她以为小罗伯特很有爱心——把钱给了一个可怜的老太婆。事实上，小罗伯特是拿钱从这个老太婆那里买了糖果呢！ （陶 陶） |
