To Drum Up Business 招揽生意
A man accidentally slipped on a banana peel(香蕉皮) and performed a very funny fall. He was not hurt, but had his dignity somewhat ruffled. When he got better a moment later, he found a number of people standing round in a circle. He said angrily, "What are these idlers doing here.?" "They are not idlers," explained his friend. "This man is a doctor. He wants to look you over." That man is a lawyer. He is ready to file suit for you. And a producer of comic films is waiting for you to sign a contract agreeing to work for him." 有个人不小心踩到一块香蕉皮上,滑到的样子非常滑稽,引人发笑。他没有受伤,只是有点难情。 过了一会儿他感觉好些了的时候,发觉有好几个人围着他站成一圈。他很不高兴地说:“这些闲人在这里干什么呢?” 他的朋友解释说:“他们不是闲人。这个人是医生,他想给你检查一下。那个人是律师,他准备为你起诉。另一个人是喜剧电影的制片人,他在等你和他订一个同意去给他拍片的合约。” |
