English Original
A lady went to a hat shop to buy a hat. As she was very fussy, it took her a long time to pick one. At the end of his patience, the salesman, afraid she might change her mind again, tried to flatter her: "An excellent choice, madam. You look at least ten years younger with this hat on!"
To his dismay, the lady immediately took off the hat and said: "I don't want a hat that makes me look ten years older as soon as I take it off. Show me some more hats!"

一位女士去帽子店买帽子。她非常挑剔，花了很长时间才挑中一顶。售货员已经忍无可忍，担心她再次改变主意，便试图恭维她："夫人，您做出了极佳的选择。戴上这顶帽子，您看起来至少年轻了十岁！"
令他沮丧的是，女士立刻摘下了帽子，说道："我不想要一顶摘下来就让我立刻显老十岁的帽子。再给我拿些别的帽子看看！"
