Midway Tactics | 中间战术

English Original

Three competing store owners rented adjoining shops in a mall. Observers waited for mayhem to ensue.

The retailer on the right put up huge signs saying, "Gigantic Sale!" and "Super Bargains!"

The store on the left raised bigger signs proclaiming, "Prices Slashed!" and "Fantastic Discounts!"

The owner in the middle then prepared a large sign that simply stated, "ENTRANCE."


中文翻译

三位互为竞争对手的商店老板在商场里租下了毗邻的店铺。旁观者们都在等着看一场好戏。

右边的零售商挂起了巨大的招牌,上面写着:“大减价!”和“超级特惠!”

左边的商店则竖起了更大的招牌,宣称:“价格狂砍!”和“惊人折扣!”

中间的店主随后准备了一个大招牌,上面只简单地写着:“入口处。”
