English Original
Two men set out to go fishing. They traveled a long way to buy equipment, bait, and a video camera. Then they drove to the seaside. The roads were terrible, badly damaging their car with dents all over. Most of their gear was also ruined.
Upon reaching the shore, they caught only a single fish. One man remarked, "What a terrible day for business. Do you have any idea how much we spent just to catch this one fish?"
His companion replied, "Of course I do. We spent two thousand dollars on this one. That's a bit much!"
The first man then said, "It's a good thing we didn't catch more, or the cost would have been even higher. Two thousand dollars for one fish!"

有两个人出发去钓鱼。他们长途跋涉购买了渔具、鱼饵和一台摄像机，然后驱车前往海边。路况极差，他们的车子被撞得坑坑洼洼，大部分装备也损坏了。
到达海边后，他们只钓到了一条鱼。其中一人说道：“今天真是亏大了。你知道我们为了钓这条鱼花了多少钱吗？”
他的同伴回答：“我当然知道。我们为这一条鱼花了两千美元。这有点太过分了！”
第一个人接着说：“幸好我们没有钓到更多，不然成本就更高了。一条鱼要两千美元啊！”
