Two people were going fishing. They went a long way to buy the equipment, bait and a video camera. Then they drove to the seaside. The roads were bad, and their car was badly damaged, with dents here and there. Most of their equipment was damaged, too.
After they reached the seaside, they caught only one fish. One of them said, "Business was really bad today. Do you know how much we spent on this one fish alone?"
The other answered, "Of course, I do. We spent two thousand dollars on just this one. It is a little too much!"
The first person then said, "Good thing we didn't catch more, or the costs would have been even higher. Two thousand dollars for one fish!"
有兩個人去捕魚,他們走了很長的路,買了很多工具、 食物和錄影器材等,然后開車去海邊。由于路不好走, 因此車子撞得亂七八糟,破這邊、破那邊,工具也損壞很多。
到海邊后,他們只捕到一條魚,其中一個人講:“今天虧本了,你知道我們花了多少錢才捕到這條魚嗎?”
另一個人說:“當然知道,我們花了兩千塊美金才捕到, 太過分了一點!”
第一個人說:“還好沒有捕更多,不然就更虧本了,每一條魚要兩千塊美金?。?rdquo;
