Dear sir，

Just over six months ago，I saw an advertisement in a morning newspaper for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare．Your company offered this set at a low price：15 pounds and 50 pence．I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time，so I sent for them．

Two weeks later，the books arrived，together with a set of the works of Charles Dickens which I had not wanted．So I returned the Dickens' books to you．Two more weeks passed．Then there arrived a second set of the works of Shakespeare，the same set of Dickens' books and a set of the plays of Moliere，in French．I do not read French，and they were not useful at all，so I wrote to you.

You did not answer that letter．Instead you sent me a bill for 42 pounds and a set of the plays of Schiller，in German．I have no room for any more books，and I have no time to read them all．

Please send no more books，no more bills and no more angry letters for payment．Just send one large truck and take all the books away，leaving me only with the one set of the works of Shakespeare for which I have paid．

Yours，

Simon Walker

參考譯文

親愛的先生：

就在6個(gè)多月前，我在早報(bào)上看到了一則出售莎士比亞全集的廣告。你們公司愿以低價(jià)供書，價(jià)錢為15英鎊50便士。我一直想要一套莎士比亞的戲劇和詩歌集，所以我就訂了一套。

兩周后，書到了，還有一套我沒有訂的查爾斯·狄更斯作品集。于是我把狄更斯的書寄還給你們。又過了兩周多，來了第二套莎士比亞全集，一套和我退回的那套一樣的狄更斯作品集，還有一套法語版的莫里哀戲劇集。我不懂法語，而且它們根本沒用，所以我才給你寫信。

你沒有回我的信。相反卻寄來一張42英鎊的賬單和一套德語版的席勒戲劇集。我已經(jīng)沒有地方放更多的書了，我也沒時(shí)間把它們?nèi)甲x完。

請不要再寄書和賬單了，也不要因?yàn)槲覜]有付錢而怒氣沖沖地來信指責(zé)我。你只要派一輛大卡車把所有這些書都拉走，只給我留下那套已經(jīng)付錢的莎士比亞全集。

你的，

西蒙·沃克
