The Mean Man's Party | 吝啬鬼的待客之道

English Original

A notorious cheapskate was explaining to a friend how to find his apartment.

He said, "Come up to 5M and ring the doorbell with your elbow. When the door opens, push it with your foot."

"Why use my elbow and foot?" the friend asked.

"Well, gosh," was the reply. "You're not coming empty-handed, are you?"


中文翻译

一个出了名的吝啬鬼正在向朋友解释如何找到他的公寓。

他说:“上到五楼M室,用你的胳膊肘按门铃。门开了之后,再用脚把门推开。”

“为什么要用我的胳膊肘和脚呢?”朋友问道。

“哎呀,天哪,”吝啬鬼回答,“你总不会空着手来吧?”
