A Business Trip
A Business Trip
On a business trip to India, a colleague of mine arrived at the airport in Dilhi. He took a taxi to his hotel, where he was greeted by his hospitable Indian host. The cab driver requested the equivalent of eight dollars U. S. for the fare, which seemed reasonable, so my friend handed him the money.
But the host grabbed the bills and initiated a verbal assault upon the cabby, calling him a worthless parasite and a disgrace to their country for trying to overcharge visitors. The host threw half the amount at the driver and told him never to return.
As the taxi sped off, the host gave the remaining bills to my colleague and asked him how his trip had been. "Fine," the business- man replied, "until you chased the cab away with my luggage in the trunk."
出差旅行
我的一個(gè)同事去印度出差。他抵達(dá)迪爾黑機(jī)場(chǎng)，就搭出租車到賓館。好客的印度主人在那里迎接他。出租車司機(jī)索要相當(dāng)于八美元的費(fèi)用。我朋友覺得似乎是合理價(jià)格，就把錢給了他。
但迎客主人一把抓過(guò)那錢鈔，對(duì)出租司機(jī)大罵不止，稱他是一文不值的寄生蟲，并說(shuō)他企圖宰國(guó)外來(lái)客，真是丟盡了他們國(guó)家的面子。他把錢鈔的半數(shù)扔給司機(jī)，告訴他永遠(yuǎn)別再回來(lái)。
出租司機(jī)一踩油門跑掉了。主人把剩下的錢還給我的同事，問(wèn)他旅途如何。“很好，”這位商人回答，“只是你把出租車趕跑了，我的行李還在車箱里。”
