车停了计时器还在运行
阅读 : 次
As the taxi came to a screeching halt at a traffic light, I asked the driver, "Do you agree that 'Time is money'?"
"Well, it's a very common saying. Who will care so much about that?" the driver answered.
"Look, the digits in the meter are still running when the car has stopped, "I pointed at the meter.
"Oh, yes. You've got a point here. In this case, time is money for both of us." added the driver.
当出租车在红绿灯前嘎然而止时,我问司机“你赞同‘时间就是金钱’吗?'
"是啊,这是很常见的说法。谁管它那么多呢?”司机答道。
“瞧,车停了计时器还在运行。”我指着计价器说。
“哦,你说到点上了,在这种情况下,对我们两个来说时间就是金钱”司机补充道。
