摩登自行車的犀利廣告

Tom saw an advertisement in a newspaper for a beautiful modern bicycle which cost 50, so he went to the shop to have a look。

After examining the bicycle carefully, Tom turned to the shopkeeper and said, "There isn't a lamp on this bicycle, but there was one on the bicycle in your advertisement." "Yes, sir," answered the shopkeeper, "but the lamp isn't included in the price of the bicycle. It's an extra."

"Not included in the price of bicycle?" Tom said angrily, "But that's not honest. If the lamp's in the advertisement, it should have been included in the price you gave there."

"Well, sir," answered the shopkeeper calmly, "there is also a girl on the bicycle in our advertisement, shall we supply one for you too?"

小湯姆在報紙上看到一輛很漂亮的摩登自行車的廣告，標價50英鎊，于是他到商店去看一看。

小湯姆很仔細地看完那輛自行車后，轉過身對店主說：“這輛自行車少了一盞燈，但在廣告上的自行車是有的。”“是的，先生，”店主回答說，“但那盞燈不包括在自行車的價格里面，是另外收費的。”

“不包括在自行車價格里面？”小湯姆很生氣，“但這是不誠實的。如果燈在廣告上，它就應該包括在你所標出的價格之內。”

“嗯，先生，”店主冷靜地回答：“在我們的自行車廣告上還有一個女孩，難道我們也要為您提供一個嗎？”
