2 省钱 Save Money
Henry was from the United States and he had come to London for a holiday.
One day he was not feeling well, so he went to the clerk at the desk of his hotel and said,” I want to see doctor. Can you give me the name of a good one?"
The clerk looked in a book and then said, "Dr. Kenneth Grey, 61010."
Henry said“Thank you very much. Is he expensive?"
"Well, "the clerk answered, "He always charges his patients two pounds for their first visit to him, and one pound and 50 pennies for later visits."
Henry decided to save 50 pennies, so when he went to see the doctor, he said “I’ve come again, doctor."
For a few seconds the doctor looked at his face carefully without saying anything.
Then he nodded and said“Oh, yes. “ He examined him and then said, "Everything's going as it should do. Just continue with the medicine I gave you last time."

亨利说:“非常感谢,他收费贵吗?”
“喔,”服务员回答说:“他对初诊患者收费两英镑,复诊收费一点五英镑。”
亨利想节省五十便士,所以他去看病时对医生说:“我又来了,医生。”
医生仔细端详着他的面孔,几秒钟没说话。
然后点点头说:“哦,是的。”给他做完检查以后,医生说:“病情发展正常。继续服用上次我给你开的药吧。”

John and Tom chose the philosophy course this term.
The teacher said, “Boys, you need to take a test before you can get the credits.”
So they took the test and the next day they came back to see the result. "Well,” the teacher said, “Both of you got the same score except I’m going to fail Tom.”
Tom complained, “Don’t you think that’s prejudice or something?”

6 时间对猪有什么意义? What’s time to a pig?
One day a visitor from the city came to a small rural area to drive around the country roads, see how the farms looked, and perhaps to see how farmers earned their living. The city man saw a farmer in his yard, holding a pig up in his hands, and lifting it so that the pig could eat apples from an apple tree. The city man said to the farmer," I see that your pig likes apples, but isn’t that quite a waste of time?" The farmer replied," What’s time to a pig?"
一天，有一个城市里的游客来到一个小乡村，在乡间路上开着车，想看看农庄是什么样子，也想看看农夫怎样种田过日子。这位城里人看见一位农夫在宅后的草地上，手中抱着一头猪，并把它举得高高的，好让它能够吃到树上的苹果。城里人对农夫说，"我看你的猪挺喜欢吃苹果的，但是，这不是很浪费时间吗?"那位农夫回答说，"时间对猪有什么意义?"
