A Cheap Horse | 便宜的马

English Original

After his beloved horse died, a man wanted to place an ad in the newspaper: "Horse saddle and bridle for $50."

Inadvertently, the newspaper added a comma, making the ad read: "Horse, saddle and bridle for $50."

Immediately, someone responded: "That's an awfully cheap price for a horse. What's wrong with your horse?"

"Well, he is dead," replied the man who placed the erroneously typed ad.


中文翻译

一个人心爱的马死后,他打算在报纸上登一则广告:“马鞍和马笼头,50美元。”

无意中,报纸在广告里加了一个逗号,使广告变成了:“马,马鞍和马笼头,50美元。”

马上就有人回应道:“这匹马的价格也太便宜了。你的马有什么问题吗?”

“呃,它死了,”刊登了这则错误广告的人回答道。
