015 I Didn’t Need the Money Then 我那时还不缺钱

外国人讲：

Looking very unhappy，a poor man entered a doctor’s consulting-room.

“Doctor，”he said，“you must help me.I swallowed a penny about a month ago.”

“Good heavens，man！”said the doctor.“Why have you waited so long？Why don’t you come to me on the day you swallowed it？”

“To tell you the truth，Doctor，”the poor man replied，“I didn’t need the money so badly then.”

中国人讲：

一个看起来很难受的穷人走进大夫的诊室。

他说：“大夫！帮帮我！一个月前我吞了个一分的硬币！”

大夫说：“天哪，你早干吗去了？你当时怎么不来看？”

穷人回答：“实话告诉您吧，大夫，我当时还没那么缺钱！”
