To Buy a Video 　　

Amos asked his mother whether they could have a video.

"I’m afraid we can’t afford one," sighed his mother.

But on the following day in came Amos, staggering¹ beneath the weight of a brand-new video.

"How on earth did you pay for that?" gasped² his mother.

"Easy, Mum." replied Amos, "I sold the television!"

买录像机

艾莫斯问妈妈他们是否能买一台录像机。

“恐怕我们还买不起，”妈妈叹息着说。

可第二天当艾莫斯回来时，他摇摇晃晃地搬着一台全新的录像机。

“你究竟是哪儿来的钱买这东西？”妈妈大吃一惊，喘着气说。

“妈妈，这简单，”艾曼斯回答。“我把电视机给卖了！”
