English Original
After being away on business, Tim thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift.
"How about some perfume?" he asked the cosmetics clerk. She showed him a $50.00 bottle.
"That's a bit much," said Tim, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.00.
"That's still quite a bit," Tim complained.
Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny $15.00 bottle.
"What I mean," said Tim, "is I'd like to see something really cheap."
The clerk handed him a mirror.

出差归来，蒂姆觉得该给妻子带件小礼物。
“香水怎么卖？”他问化妆品店员。店员给他看了一瓶50美元的香水。
“有点贵了。”蒂姆说。于是店员又拿出一瓶30美元的。
“还是相当贵。”蒂姆抱怨道。
店员有些不耐烦了，拿出一小瓶15美元的香水。
“我的意思是，”蒂姆说，“我想看看真正便宜的东西。”
店员递给他一面镜子。
