The Thrifty Traveler | 节俭的旅行家

English Original

Once a traveler wanted to visit Springfield by train. He went up to a ticket window and said to the conductor, "I want a ticket for Springfield."

"Which Springfield?" asked the conductor, "Springfield, Massachusetts; Springfield, Ohio; Springfield, Missouri; or Springfield, Illinois?"

"Well, which is the cheapest?" asked the traveler.


中文翻译

从前,一位旅行家想乘火车去斯普林菲尔德。他走到一个售票窗口,对售票员说:“我要一张去斯普林菲尔德的车票。”

“哪个斯普林菲尔德?”售票员问道,“是马萨诸塞州的、俄亥俄州的、密苏里州的,还是伊利诺伊州的?”

“哦,哪个最便宜呢?”旅行家问道。
