I promised my girlfriend a gold necklace for her birthday,
我答應過我的女朋友過生日進送她一條金項鏈,
but when the jeweler quoted a price for one we liked, I let out a long, low whistle.
可是當珠寶商報出我們看中的那條項鏈的價格時,我低低地打了個長口哨。
"And how much are they then?" I asked, pointing to another tray.
“那這條項鏈多少錢呢?”我指著另一個盤子里的項鏈問。
"You, sir," replied the jeweler, "about three whistles."
“先生,對你來說,”珠寶商答道,“大約值三聲口哨。”
