沒有白吃的午餐 |

Hoping to get free contact lenses, Freddy goes to the optician. |
 |
|
|
 |
|
|
Freddy：Could you help me check my eyes, please? |
|
弗瑞德：可否麻煩你幫我做個視力檢查？ |
|
|
|
Optician：Sure. Please have a seat and put on these glasses. Now, tell me. Which letters seem clearer? |
|
眼鏡商：當然。請坐下並戴上這副眼鏡。現在，告訴我。哪些字母看得比較清楚？ |
|
|
|
Freddy：The ones on the right. |
|
|
|
|
|
Optician：OK. Can you read these price tags? |
|
眼鏡商：好的。你看得見這些價格標籤嗎？ |
|
|
|
Freddy：Yes. They're as clear as daylight. |
|
弗瑞德：可以。清楚得很。 |
|
|
|
Optician：Fine. Read out the highest amount. |
|
眼鏡商：很好。把價格最高的唸出來。 |
|
|
|
Freddy：US$100. |
|
弗瑞德：美金一百元。 |
|
|
|
Optician：Right. That's what it'll cost you. |
|
眼鏡商：沒錯。那就是你所要付的款數。 |
|
|
|
Freddy：But I thought the contact lenses are free. |
|
弗瑞德：但是我以為隱形眼鏡是免費的。 |
|
|
|
Optician：Yes. But you'll have to pay for our service. |
|
眼鏡商：是啊。不過你得付我們服務費。 |
|
|
|
Freddy：No wonder they say, "There's no such thing as a free lunch." |
|
弗瑞德：難怪人家說：『天底下沒有白吃的午餐。』 |
