Slot Machine | 老虎机

English Original

A woman was standing in front of a soda machine outside a store. After inserting sixty cents, a root beer came out. She placed it on the ground, put in another sixty cents, pressed a button, and a cola appeared. She repeated this process until a man waiting behind her grew impatient.

"Excuse me," he said, "could I get my soda? Then you can go back to whatever you're doing."

The woman turned and replied, "No way! I'm not giving up this machine while I'm still winning!"


中文翻译

一位女士站在一家商店外的汽水贩卖机前。投入六十美分后,一罐根汁啤酒出来了。她把它放在地上,又投入六十美分,按下一个按钮,一罐可乐出现了。她不断重复这个过程,直到身后一位等待的男子变得不耐烦。

"打扰一下,"他说,"我能先买我的汽水吗?然后你可以继续做你的事。"

女士转过身回答道:"想得美!只要我还在赢,我就不会放弃这台机器!"
