051 Three Whistles 三声口哨
外国人讲:
I promised my girlfriend a gold necklace for her birthday,but when the jeweler quoted a price for one we liked,I let out a long,low whistle.
“And how much are they then?”I asked, pointing to another tray.
“You,sir,”replied the jeweler,“about three whistles.”

中国人讲:
我答应过我的女朋友过生日时送她一条金项链。可是当珠宝商报出我们看中的那条项链的价格时,我低低地打了个长口哨。
“那这条项链多少钱呢?”我指着另一个盘子里的项链问。
珠宝商答道:“先生,对你来说,大约值三声口哨。”
