The Shower Saver | 节水器的误会

English Original

I was working at a booth at the Los Angeles Home and Garden Show.

Next to me was a woman demonstrating a shower saver. As she was telling a passer-by about the device, she mentioned that it saved 25,000 gallons of water a year. The man stood as if deep in thought. Finally, the woman asked if he had any questions.

"No," he replied. "I am just trying to figure out where I'll store all the water."


中文翻译

我在洛杉矶家居园艺展的一个摊位工作。

我旁边是一位正在演示淋浴节水器的女士。当她向一位路人介绍这个设备时,她提到它每年可以节省25,000加仑的水。那位男士站在那里,仿佛陷入了沉思。最后,女士问他是否有任何问题。

“没有,”他回答道。“我只是在想,我该把省下来的所有这些水储存在哪里。”
