Excellent Skills | 绝妙的技巧

English Original

After friends of mine landed at busy Newark Airport, they were unable to attract the attention of any porters to help with their luggage. In desperation, the husband took out a five-dollar bill and waved it above the crowd.

In an instant, a skycap was at his side. "Sir," observed the porter, "you certainly have excellent communication skills."


中文翻译

我的几位朋友降落在繁忙的纽瓦克机场后,却无法引起任何脚夫的注意来帮忙搬运行李。无奈之下,丈夫掏出一张五美元的钞票,在人群上方挥舞。

顷刻间,一位机场行李搬运员就来到了他身边。这位脚夫说道:“先生,您这沟通技巧可真是绝妙。”
