The Cost of a Fish | 一条鱼的代价

English Original

Two men from Virginia go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment: the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. They spend a fortune!

The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day and the third day. This continues until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of them catches a single fish.

As they're driving home, they feel really depressed. One guy turns to the other and says, "Do you realize that this one lousy fish cost us fifteen hundred bucks?"

The other guy replies, "Wow! Then it's a good thing we didn't catch any more!"


中文翻译

两个来自弗吉尼亚州的男人去钓鱼旅行。他们租了所有的装备:卷线器、鱼竿、涉水服、划艇、汽车,甚至林间小屋。他们花了一大笔钱!

第一天他们去钓鱼,但一无所获。第二天和第三天情况依旧。这种情况一直持续到假期最后一天,其中一人才钓到一条鱼。

开车回家时,他们感到非常沮丧。一个人对另一个人说:“你意识到这条破鱼花了我们一千五百美元吗?”

另一个人回答说:“哇!那我们没钓到更多鱼还真是件好事!”
