500块钱的保时捷
A man was reading the paper when an ad caught his eye: $500 Porsche! New!
一个男人正在看报纸,突然一条广告吸引了他:“保时捷500块!新车!”
The man thought that it was very unusual to sell a Porsche for $500, and he thought it might be a joke, but thought it was worth a shot.
他认为一辆保时捷卖500块钱太不可思议了,他想这可能是个玩笑。可他又觉得实在太便宜了,值得一试。
So he went to the lady's house and sure enough, she had an almost brand new Porsche.
于是他按照地址找到卖车的女士家中,她确实有一辆全新的保时捷。
"Wow!" the man said. "Can I take it for a test drive?"
“哇!”他说,“我能试驾吗?”
Unlike what he expected, the man found that the car ran perfectly and took it back to the lady's house.
与他预料的相反,这车的性能非常好。他把车开回那位女士家中。
"Why are you selling me this great Porsche for only $500?"
“这辆保时捷很棒,你为什么只卖500块钱呢?”
"My husband just ran off with his secretary, and he told me I could have the house and the furniture as long as I sold his Porsche and sent him the money."
“我丈夫和他的秘书跑了,他说房子和家具都归我,他只要我把他的保时捷卖了,把钱寄给他。”
