幽默笑話精粹75：幸運的顧客

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: "remember, once a week，one of our customers gets free goods. This may be your lucky day!”

所有去新開張超市的主婦都有一個美好的愿望:成為一個購物不用交錢的幸運顧客。因為這是入口處的一則商店啟事所承諾的。上面寫著:“請記住，每周有一位顧客可以免費購物。今天也許就是您的幸運日!”

For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. The cupboards in her kitchen were full of things, which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say，"Madam, this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket is free.”

正像她的許多朋友一樣，有好幾個禮拜，愛德華太太都在盼望著自己會是那位幸運顧客。跟朋友不同的是，她從來不放棄這種期望。家里廚房的碗柜中都塞滿了她并不需要的東西。她的丈夫勸她不要亂買東西，但是她不聽。她夢想著有一天超市的經(jīng)理走到她的面前對她說:“夫人，今天是您的幸運日，您籃子里的每樣東西都是免費的。”

On Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. "Madam，”he said, holding out his hand, "I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free”

一個周五的早晨，她在采購完把東西放進車里后，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己忘記了買茶葉。她快步回到超市，取了茶葉后走向收銀處。正在此時，他看到商店的經(jīng)理朝她走來，“夫人，”說著他伸出手來，“我要恭喜您!您是我們的幸運顧客，您籃子里的所有東西都是免費的。”
