  本篇大意是:木匠約翰給主人公的妻子做了一個小飯桌,結賬時的賬單上把成本費17.00、油漆料錢1.50、工價8.00和日期10一起相加,多計價10元,結果被主人發(fā)現(xiàn)了,但他并沒有直接批評多要錢的木匠,只是詼諧地說:“月底30日做比月初10日做,還要貴些,是不是?”而且只付了木匠應得到的26.50元錢.很明顯,本篇比上篇更難些,因上篇中主人公懷特和廠家雙方處理的問題是直接的,直言不諱,而本篇中的主人公卻是明人做暗事,肚內藏機關,木匠雖然詭譎,主人卻更機靈,一眼看穿了木匠的把戲,但他處理問題頗有技巧,既解決問題,不多花錢,又不搞得很僵,雙方不快,體現(xiàn)了現(xiàn)代生意場中的交往策略和洽談風格.我國正在建設社會主義市場經濟,這是法制化、規(guī)范化的市場經濟,反對不正當?shù)母偁帲宋挠幸欢ǖ默F(xiàn)實意義,文中的內容聯(lián)系著當代的社會生活,通過英語試卷,同樣可以檢驗學生:的審視能力.

  Our village carpenter(木匠), John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill(賬單) for the job.

  My wife said to me, quietly, “That's his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said, in a loud voice, “It's a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?”

  “I'll decide about that when I see the bill,” I said.

  John laughed and gave me his bill for the work. I read:

  One dining table
10 November 1989
  Cost((成本;費用)) of wood
£17.00(£是pound的符號)
  Paint(油漆)
1.50
  Work, 8 hours (£1 an hour)
8.00
  Tota1(合計)
36.50

  When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It's been a fine day, hasn't it? Quite sunny.”

  “Yes,” I said. “I'm glad it's only the 10th of November.”

  “Me, too,” said John. “You wait-it'll be a lot colder by the end of the month.”

  “Yes. Colder-and more expensive! Dining tables will be £20 more expensive on November 30th, won't they, John?”

  John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.

  “If it isn't too much trouble, John,” I said, “please add it up again. You can forget the date.”

  I paid him £26.50 and he was happy to get it.
