Doing Business | 生意之道

English Original

A man walks into a bar one night. He goes up to the bar and asks for a beer.

"Certainly, sir, that'll be 1 cent."

"One cent?!" exclaims the man.

The bartender replies, "Yes."

The man glances at the menu and asks, "Could I have a nice juicy T-bone steak, with fries, peas, and a salad?"

"Certainly, sir," replies the bartender, "but that comes to real money."

"How much?" inquires the man.

"Four cents," he replies.

"Four cents?!" exclaims the man. "Where's the owner of this place?"

The bartender replies, "Upstairs with my wife."

The man says, "What's he doing with your wife?"

The bartender replies, "The same thing I'm doing to his business."

一天晚上,一个男人走进一家酒吧。他走到吧台前点了一杯啤酒。

"当然,先生,一美分。"

"一美分?!"男人惊呼道。

酒保回答:"是的。"

男人看了一眼菜单,问道:"那我能来一份美味多汁的T骨牛排,配上薯条、豌豆和沙拉吗?"

"当然可以,先生,"酒保回答,"但那可得花真钱了。"

"多少钱?"男人询问道。

"四美分,"他回答。

"四美分?!"男人惊呼。"这家店的老板在哪儿?"

酒保回答:"在楼上,和我妻子在一起。"

男人说:"他和你妻子在做什么?"

酒保回答:"就像我对他的生意做的一样。"
