Fishing
Larry and Harry1 drove 500 miles to go fishing. They paid a huge sum to rent a cabin, a similar about to rent a boat. They fished for three days and caught only one fish between them.
On the way home, Harry fiddled2 with a calculator while Larry drove. After an hour, Harry said, “Do you realize that this one fish we caught cost us almost $2,000?”
“Wow!” Larry said, “It's a good thing we didn't catch any more.”
钓鱼
拉里和哈里驱车500英里去钓鱼。两人花了一大笔钱租了一间小屋,又花了差不多同样的钱租了一条船。两人钓了三天,只钓到一条鱼。
在回家的路上,拉里开车,哈里拨弄着计算器。一小时后,哈里说:“你可知道我们钓的这条鱼几乎用掉我们2000美元?”
“哇!”拉里应答:“幸亏我们没有多钓到鱼。”
