A Girl Not Included
女孩不包括在内
Tom saw an advertisement in a newspaper for a beautiful, modern bicycle which cost £54.99, so he went to the shop which had put the advertisement in and asked to see one of their wonderful bicycles.
汤姆在报纸上看到一则广告，一种既漂亮又现代的自行车，卖54.99英镑。于是，他就去做广告的那家商店，问能否看一下那些超凡的自行车。
The shopkeeper was very happy to show one to Tom, who examined carefully and said, "There isn't a lamp on this bicycle, but there was one on the bicycle in your advertisement."
店主很高兴地给汤姆看了一辆，汤姆仔细地检查了一下，对店主说：“这辆车没有车灯，可是你们广告上有车灯。”
"Yes, sir," answered the shopkeeper, "but the lamp isn't included in the price of the bicycle. It's an extra."
“是的，先生。”店主回答，“可是车灯不包括在自行车的价钱里。那是另外算钱的。”
"Not included in the price of the bicycle?" Tom said angrily. "But that's not honest. If the lamp is in the advertisement, it should have been included in the price you gave there."
“不包括在车子的价钱里？”汤姆生气地问，“真是骗人。如果广告上有车灯，那么就应该包括在价钱里。”
"Well, sir," answered the shopkeeper calmly, "there is a girl on the bicycle in our advertisement, but we don't supply one of them with the bicycle either."
“哦，先生。”店主平静地回答，“我们的广告里，车子上还有个女孩，可是我们也不提供女孩啊！”
