Pete's Sharp Knife皮特鋒利的刀
Pete was in his kitchen. He was about to slice three green apples. He liked to eat fresh apples with cinnamon sprinkled on them. He opened the blinds so that he could get more sunlight into the kitchen. Now he could see what he was doing.
皮特在廚房里。他準(zhǔn)備了三個(gè)綠色的蘋(píng)果切片來(lái)吃,他喜歡吃新鮮的蘋(píng)果,并且在上面撒上桂皮香料。他打開(kāi)百葉窗,讓更多的陽(yáng)光照進(jìn)廚房。現(xiàn)在他可以看到他在做什么。
He grabbed a knife out of a drawer. It said "Surgical Stainless USA" on the side of the blade. The blade was very thin and light. It had teeth, like a saw. The handle was a brown piece of cheap hollow plastic.
他從抽屜里拿了一把刀。在刀片的一邊上寫(xiě)著:“美國(guó)外科手術(shù)專用不銹鋼”,它非常薄和輕,還有牙齒,像一個(gè)鋸子一樣。手柄是一塊廉價(jià)的中空塑料。
He had bought this knife about 20 years ago at a county fair. It was one of those knives that were advertised on TV. It could cut through a tomato can, and then cut easily and cleanly through a fresh tomato.
大約20年前在一個(gè)縣里的廟會(huì)上他買(mǎi)了這把刀,這是那些在電視上登廣告的刀具之一。它可以切開(kāi)番茄,并且很容易,也很有規(guī)律。
"You never need to sharpen it. The sharp edge is guaranteed for life." That's how they advertised it. And Pete, for once, couldn't argue that the advertisers lied. This was a great knife.
“你永遠(yuǎn)不需要磨它。鋒利的邊緣是有壽命保障的。“這就是廣告里說(shuō)的的。皮特只有這一次,不認(rèn)為廣告在說(shuō)謊。這是一把很好的刀。
But it was also a dangerous knife. A couple of years ago, Pete was careless. He was rapidly slicing a potato and the blade got his finger. The doctor put three stitches in Pete's finger.
但它也是一個(gè)危險(xiǎn)的刀。幾年前,皮特很粗心。他正在迅速地切土豆片,刀片切到了他的手指,醫(yī)生給皮特的手指縫了三針。
"Next time, be more careful," the doctor said.
醫(yī)生說(shuō):“下次小心點(diǎn)。”
No kidding, Pete thought. He was so careful that he didn't use the knife for almost a year.
別開(kāi)玩笑了,皮特想。他幾乎沒(méi)用刀了,所以非常小心。
