Smith was the manager of a construction company and was taking bids on a new project. The first bidder was a Polish company, and their representative offered to do the job for $ 400,000. "That seems reasonable," said Smith. "Can you give me a breakdown on that?"
史密斯是一家建設(shè)公司的經(jīng)理，他正負(fù)責(zé)一個(gè)新工程的招標(biāo)案。第一位投標(biāo)的是一家波蘭公司，他們的代表出價(jià)四十萬(wàn)元接那個(gè)案子?！八坪鹾芎侠?，”史密斯說(shuō)。“你可不可以給我一張明細(xì)表呢?”
"Sure," said the Pole, " $200, 000 for labor and $ 200,000 for materials. "
“當(dāng)然沒(méi)問(wèn)題，”波蘭公司代表說(shuō)道，“二十萬(wàn)元工資，二十萬(wàn)元材科費(fèi)?！?/div>

"Hmm, that seems a bit high," said Smith. "What's the breakdown?"
“嗯，這個(gè)價(jià)錢似乎有些偏高，”史密斯說(shuō)道。"你們有明細(xì)表嗎?"
" $ 400,000 0n materials, $ 400,000 0n labor. "
“四十萬(wàn)元材料，四十萬(wàn)元工資?！?/div>

“一百二十萬(wàn)元這個(gè)標(biāo)高得太過(guò)分了，”史密斯叫道“你可以給我一張明細(xì)表嗎?"
"No problem," replied the rep. " $400, 000 for me,$ 400 , 000 for you and $ 400，000 for the Polacks.
