A flustered customer arrived at the front desk of our local newspaper. “I need the papers from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and today,” he said. The woman at the desk dutifully went off to collect the week's news. When she returned with the stack, the customer added, “As long as I'm here, I may as well pick up tomorrow's paper too.”
一位紧张不安的顾客来到我们当地报社的前台。他说:“我要星期一、星期二、星期三和今天的报纸。”前台小姐很负责地去给他收集这个星期的报纸。当她拿着一叠报纸回来的时候,这位顾客补充说:“既然我来这里了,我把明天的报纸也拿着吧。”
