A Gentle Reminder Having been married a long time， my husband sometimes needs a gentle reminder of a special occasion. On the morning of our 35th anniversary， we were sitting at the breakfast table when I hinted， “Honey， do you realize that we’ve been sitting in these same two seats for exactly 35 years？” Putting down the newspaper， he looked straight at me and said， “So， you want to switch seats？”
委婉提醒婚后已久，我丈夫往往在一个特别事情上需要委婉的提醒。在我们结婚35周年纪念的早上，我们正坐在早餐桌旁，我暗示道：“亲爱的，你意识到我们在这两个相同的座位已坐了整整35年了吗？”他放下报纸，眼睛直直地望着我，“因此，你想交换座位吗？”4.购二手车

B：Way！ I knew I wanted an Audi A4 with automatic transmission and I bid in a lot of auctions.
A：That sounds like a really smart way to get great products for a lower price.
A：你买了台新电脑，对吧？
B：我在一个拍卖会上买的。他们直接送货上门。
A：那是全新的！有谁会拍卖这样的东西？
B：网络拍卖，这是最新、最棒的渠道，几乎可以用最低的价格买到任何东西。
A：在网络上拍卖！这主意棒极了！
B：是部奥迪A4，有自动变速器和空调。
A：那一定花了你不少钱吧！
B：保修一年，而且价格不到3000美元。
A：骗人！
B：不骗你！我早就想要一辆带自动变速器的奥迪A4，所以我在很多拍卖网出价投标。
A：听起来的确是个精明的方式，可以用比较低的价格买到很好的产品。

Car TalkA young boy had just gotten his driving permit.He asked his father，who was a minister，if they could discuss the use of the car.His father took him to his study and said to him，“I ll make a deal with you.You bring your grades up，study your Bible a little and get your hair cut and we ll talk about it.”After about a month the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss the use of the car.They again went to the father s study where his father said，“Son，I ve been real proud of you.You have brought your grades up，you ve studied your Bible diligently，but you didn t get your hair cut！”The young man waited a moment and replied，“You know Dad，I ve been thinking about that.You know，Samson had long hair，Moses had long hair，Noah had long hair，and even Jesus had long hair...”To which his father replied：“Yes，and they WALKED everywhere they went.”
用车谈判一个年轻人刚刚拿到了驾照。他问他做牧师的父亲是否可以与他讨论一下家里那辆车的使用问题。父亲把他带进书房，对他说：“我来与你做个交易。你先提高学习成绩，好好读读《圣经》，把头发剪短，然后我们再谈。”
一个月后，孩子回来了，又问他父亲是否可以讨论车子的使用问题。他们又去了父亲的书房，然后父亲说：“儿子，我真的为你感到骄傲。你学习成绩提高了，也很勤奋地学习《圣经》，但是你并没有理发！”年轻人等了一会儿，回答说：“你知道，爸爸，我想了很长时间，你知道，参孙是长发，摩西是长发，诺亚是长发，甚至耶酥也是长发……。”听到这儿，父亲说：“是的，但是他们去哪儿都是步行呀。”
