Snow was falling heavily the day I decided to visit a car dealership. I was confident I'd get a great deal, figuring the salesmen would be desperate for customers on such a lousy day. Sure enough, when I entered the showroom, I was the only client. But my hope of getting a good deal quickly faded with the salesman's first words. "Boy," he said, "you must want a new car real bad to come out on a day like this."

　　我决定去一家车行看车的那天雪下得非常大。 我琢磨，这样的鬼天气，车行的人肯定是盼星星盼月亮地昐顾客上门，这时候去买车价钱肯定划算。  一点没错， 当我进入展厅的时候，我就是那唯一的顾客。 但当销售人员一开口，我那如意算盘马上就打不响了。 “小兄弟”，他兴高采烈地说，“这样的天你也出来（看车），看来你是真着急要买辆新车了”。
