看笑话学英语：The advantage of noise

kobe

wherever i drove my old car over 55 miles per hour ,it vibrated terribly, so i decided to sell it. my first customer wanted to buy the car, and i battled with my conscience over whether or not to tell him of the vehicle's problem. finally i did the right thing. expecting him to drop the deal, i was surprised by his reply.

每当我驾驶我那辆旧车时速超过55英里时，它就剧烈地震动起来，所以我决定卖掉它。我的第一位买主想买这辆车。围绕是否告诉他这辆车的问题，我经历了一番良心的较量。终于我做了件正确的事情。我想他会放弃这个交易，却对他的回答吃了一惊。

that's okay, he said. i'm buying this car for my daughter. if she complains about a vibration, i'll know she's driving too fast.

“那没什么，”他说，“我是给我女儿买这车的。如果她抱怨震动的话，那我就知道她开得太快了。”
