He CAN Talk!
它會(huì)說(shuō)話!
One day a man walked into an auction house. Whilethere, he bid on a parrot.
一個(gè)人走進(jìn)拍賣公司。他在那兒競(jìng)拍一只鸚鵡。
He really wanted this bird, so he got caught up inthe bidding.
他特別想要這只鸚鵡,所以他不斷地出價(jià)。
He kept on bidding, but kept getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and higher.
他不斷地出價(jià),但總有人出價(jià)比他高,所以他的出價(jià)就越來(lái)越高。
Finally, after he bid way more than he intended, he won the bid-the parrot was his at last!
最后,他的出價(jià)已經(jīng)超出了預(yù)算。但是他競(jìng)拍成功——鸚鵡是他的了。
As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the auctioneer, "I sure hope this parrot can talk. Iwould hate to have paid this much for it, only to find out that he can't talk!"
付錢時(shí),他問拍賣師:“我希望這只鸚鵡會(huì)說(shuō)話。我可不想花了這么多錢,換回一只不會(huì)說(shuō)話的!”
"Don't worry," said the auctioneer. "He can talk. Who do you think kept bidding against you?"
“不用擔(dān)心,”拍賣師說(shuō),“它會(huì)說(shuō)話。你以為和你競(jìng)買的是誰(shuí)?”
