下面和大家分享一篇趣味英語小故事，希望能豐富廣大英語學(xué)習(xí)者的課外閱讀。

A Smart Housewife

A smart housewife was told that there was a kind of stove which would only consume half of the coal she was burning. She was very excited, and said: "That'll be terrific! Since one stove can save half of the coal, if I buy two, no coal will be needed!"

精明的家庭主婦

一位精明的家庭主婦聽人說有一種爐子用起來可以比她現(xiàn)在用的爐子省一半的煤。她聽了大為興奮，說：“那太好了！一個(gè)爐子可以省一半的煤，那么如果我買兩個(gè)爐子的話，不就可以把煤全都省下來了嗎？”
