reverse倒退，charge收費(fèi)

【笑話原文】

Please Reverse the Charges

There was a lady who took a taxi home, and when the taxi driver approached her house she told him to stop, saying, "Okay, here, here is good."

Then she asked the driver, "How much is it?" And the driver replied, "Ten dollars."

Then, after searching in her purse for a while, she said, "Could you please go back 500 meters? I have only seven dollars on me!"

【中文譯文】
