買錄像機(jī)

Amos asked his mother whether they could have a video.
I’m afraid we can’t afford one, sighed his mother.
But on the following day in came Amos, staggering beneath the weight of a brand-new video.
How on earth did you pay for that? gasped his mother.
Easy, Mum. replied Amos, I sold the television!

艾莫斯問媽媽他們是否能買一臺(tái)錄像機(jī)。
恐怕我們還買不起，媽媽嘆息著說。
可第二天當(dāng)艾莫斯回來時(shí)，他搖搖晃晃地搬著一臺(tái)全新的錄像機(jī)。
你究竟是哪兒來的錢買這東西？媽媽大吃一驚，喘著氣說。
媽媽，這簡單， 艾曼斯回答。我把電視機(jī)給賣了！
