Directly from America | 来自美国

English Original

Not long after returning to China from visiting her daughter in the United States, an elderly Chinese woman went to a city bank to deposit the US dollars her daughter had given her. At the counter, the clerk meticulously examined each banknote for authenticity. This process tried the old lady's patience.

Finally, she could contain herself no longer and uttered, "Trust me, Sir, and trust the money. They are real US dollars. They are directly from America."


中文翻译

一位中国老妇人从美国探望女儿归来后不久,前往一家市银行存入女儿给她的美元。在银行柜台,职员仔细地检查每一张钞票的真伪。这种做法让老妇人很不耐烦。

最后,她实在忍不住了,说道:“相信我,先生,也请你相信这些钱。这都是真正的美元。它们是直接从美国带来的。”
