：出差旅行
On a business trip to Japan, a colleague of mine arrived at the airport in Tokyo. At the exit of the airport, he took a taxi to his hotel, where he was greeted by his hospitable Janpanesehost. The cab driver requested the equivalent of eight dollars U.S. for the fare, which seemed reasonable, so my friend handed him the money.
我的一个去日本出差的同事抵达东京机场后，在出口处搭了辆出租车到宾馆。好客的日本主人在那里迎接他。出租车司机索要相当于八美元的费用。我朋友觉得价格很合理，就把钱给了他。
But the eagle-eyed host snatched the bills and said some bad words to the cabby, calling him a worthless parasite for discriminating visitors. The host threw half the amount at the driver andtold him never to return.
但眼睛锐利的主人一把抓过钱，对出租司机说了很多难听的话，称他是歧视外来客人的一文不值的寄生虫，只把半数的钱扔给司机，告诉他永远别再回来。
The driver looked guilty, he slipped into the cab and sped off, the host gave the remaining bills to my colleague and asked him how his trip had been. "Soso," the businessman replied,"Because you chased the cab away with my luggage in the trunk."
出租司机面露愧色，钻进汽车，一踩油门跑掉了。主人把剩下的钱还给我的同事，问他旅途如何。“一般，”这位商人回答，“因为你把出租车赶跑了，而我的行李还在车厢里。”
：我晚饭后从不工作
A stingy farmer didn't want his hired hand to stop working. One morning, he told the farmlaborer, "It's such a nuisance to come in from the field, wash up for lunch and take time to eat.Itwastes too much time. And the other harvest is above to start. Why don't we save time andeat lunch now?"
一位吝啬的农场主不想让他雇佣的帮手停下来休息。一天早上，他对帮手说：“从地里回来，又要洗手吃饭，又花时间，真是太繁琐了，并且秋收就要开始了，我们何不省点时间，现在就吃午饭呢?”
The hired man agreed. The farm's wife brought in some cold mutton and hams and friedpotatoes from the kitchen cupboard.
雇员同意了。农场主的妻子从橱柜里端进来一些冷羊肉火腿和油炸土豆。
When they finished the brunches, the cheap farmer said, "While we're still at the table, let'shave supper too." They were now served steak, pancakes, two bowls of gruel and they ate oncemore.
吃完了这顿早中饭后，吝啬鬼又说：“既然我们还在桌子边，让我们连晚饭也吃了吧。”这次上桌的有排骨、薄饼和两碗稀粥。于是两个人又吃起来。
"Now that the meals are out of the way, " the farmer announced, “we can go out and work allday without interruption. "
“现在饭都吃过了，”农场主宣布说：“我们便可以出去一整天不停地干活了。”
“Oh, no,” the hired man answered. " I never work after supper.
“哦，不，”雇员回答说，“晚饭后我从不工作。”
