English Original
Whenever I drove my old car over 55 miles per hour, it vibrated terribly, so I decided to sell it. My first customer wanted to buy the car, and I battled with my conscience over whether or not to tell him about the vehicle's problem. Finally, I did the right thing. Expecting him to drop the deal, I was surprised by his reply.
"That's okay," he said. "I'm buying this car for my daughter. If she complains about a vibration, I'll know she's driving too fast."

每当我驾驶我那辆旧车时速超过55英里时,它就剧烈地震动起来,所以我决定卖掉它。我的第一位买主想买这辆车。围绕是否告诉他这辆车的问题,我经历了一番良心的较量。最终,我做了正确的事。本以为他会放弃交易,但他的回答让我吃了一惊。
“没关系,”他说,“我是给我女儿买这辆车的。如果她抱怨车子震动,那我就知道她开得太快了。”
