大家去商场买衣服、鞋子时,还记得售货员是怎么问你的吗?
当你听到售货员说“你穿上它,年轻了好几岁”,你的表情是怎样的呢?
今天的主角是一位女士,她在购物时发生了怎样的故事呢,一起来看看吧:
A lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat. As she was very fussy, it took her a long time to pick on one.
Already at the end of his patience the salesman was afraid that she might change her mind again so he tried to flatter her: "An excellent choice, madam. You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!" To his dismay,
the lady took off her hat at once and said: "I don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as I take it off. Show me some more hats!"
一位妇女到一家帽子店买帽子。她很挑剔,用了很长时间才选好了一顶。
已经忍耐到极限的售货员害怕她再改变主意,便恭维她:"你做了极好的选择,夫人。你戴上这顶帽子看上去起码年轻十岁!"但令他沮丧的是,
这位女士马上摘下了她的帽子说:"我不想要一顶摘下来便使我立刻显得老十岁的帽子。多拿一些帽子给我看看!
