Good Points and Bad Points 优缺点
"This house," said the real-estate salesman, "has both its good points and bad points. To show you I'm honest, I'm goint to tell you about the disadvantage - there is a chemical plant one block south and a slaughterhouse one block north." “这幢房子,”房地产推销商说,“既有优点也有缺点。为了说明我是诚实的,我将告诉你们它的缺点:往南面一个街区是一家化工厂,往北面一个街区是一家屠宰场。”
"What are the advantages?" inquired the prospective buyer. “那么它的长处呢?”预备购买房子的人问道。
"The good thing about it," said the agent, "is that you can always tell which way the wind is blowing." “它的好处,”代理商说道,“就是,你总能分清风是从哪边吹过来的。”
