本篇大意是:木匠约翰给主人公的妻子做了一个小饭桌,结账时的账单上把成本费17 . 00、油漆料钱1 . 50、工价8 . 00和日期10一起相加,多计价10元,结果被主人发现了,但他并没有直接批评多要钱的木匠,只是诙谐地说:“月底30日做比月初10日做,还要贵些,是不是?”而且只付了木匠应得到的26.50元钱.很明显,本篇比上篇更难些,因上篇中主人公怀特和厂家双方处理的问题是直接的,直言不讳,而本篇中的主人公却是明人做暗事,肚内藏机关,木匠虽然诡谲,主人却更机灵,一眼看穿了木匠的把戏,但他处理问题颇有技巧,既解决问题,不多花钱,又不搞得很僵,双方不快,体现了现代生意场中的交往策略和洽谈风格.我国正在建设社会主义市场经济,这是法制化、规范化的市场经济,反对不正当的竞争.此文有一定的现实意义,文中的内容联系着当代的社会生活,通过英语试卷,同样可以检验学生:的审视能力.
Our village carpenter(木匠) John Hill came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill(账单) for the job.
My wife said to me quietly “That's his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said in a loud voice “It's a beautiful table dear isn't it?”
“I'll decide about that when I see the bill ” I said.
John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:
When I was looking at the bill John said “It's been a fine day hasn't it? Quite sunny.”
“Yes ” I said. “I'm glad it's only the 10th of November.”
“Me too ” said John. “You wait-it'll be a lot colder by the end of the month.”
“Yes. Colder-and more expensive! Dining tables will be £20 more expensive on November 30th won't they John?”
John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.
“If it isn't too much trouble John ” I said “please add it up again. You can forget the date.”
I paid him £26 . 50 and he was happy to get it.
