“孩子，你为什么用棉花塞住耳朵？它感染了吗？”

“没有，老师。可是你昨天说你告诉我的知识都是一个耳朵里进，一个耳朵里出，所以我要把它堵在里面。”

“I'm sorry ，Madam ，but I shall have to charge you twenty dollars for pulling your boy's tooth .”

“Twenty d ollars! Why ，I understand you to say that you charged only four dollars for such work!”

“Yes ，but this youngster yelled so terribly that he scared four other patients out of the office .”

“对不起，夫人，为您孩子拔牙我要收取20美元。”

“20美元！为什么？不是说好只要4美元。”

“是的，但是你的孩子大喊大叫，把另外四个病人吓跑了。”

　　Geogre and his wife had a small bar. the bar often kept open after midnight because people came to drink there while they were awiting for trains. At two o'clock one morning , a man was still sitting at a table in the small bar. He drank too much and was asleep . George's wife wanted to go to bed . She went into the bar several times, and each time the man was still there. At last she said to her husband,"you've woken that man six times now, George, but he isn't drinking anything . Why haven't you sent him away? It's very late.”
"oh, no, I don't want to send him away,you see, whenever I wake him up, he asks for his bill. When I bring it to him . he pays it. Then he goes to sleep again.”
