After being away on business, Jack thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift.

出差在外，杰克覺得回家時候給老婆帶件禮物會是個不錯的選擇。

"How about some perfume?" He asked the cosmetics clerk.

“這些香水怎么樣？”他問化妝品柜的柜員。

She showed him a $50.00 bottle. "That's a bit much," said Jack.

她給他看了一瓶50美金的?！边@個有點多，“杰克說。

So she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.00. "That's still quite a bit," Jack complained.

于是她回去拿了一瓶小的過來，30美金?！边@還是有點多，“杰克抱怨道。

Growing annoyed, the clerk brought out a tiny $15.00 bottle.

柜員有點開始煩了，拿出了一瓶特別小的，15美金。

"What I mean is," said Jack, "I'd like to see something really cheap."

”我的意思是，”杰克說，“我想看看錢特別少的?！?/p>

The clerk handed him a mirror.

柜員遞給他一面鏡子。

解釋下，這個笑話的笑點在 cheap 這個英文單詞。在英文中除了便宜，在口語中形容人時還有摳門，小氣，不舍得花錢的意思。Not generous.

杰克一開始說了兩次“有點多”，用的 a bit much \ quite a bit ，他以為店員是按照香水量而不是價格給他看貨，所以他解釋說，其實想看的是錢少的香水而不是量少的香水。他想要 really cheap 的香水，店員遞給他鏡子讓他看自己，意思就是你看你自己就好了，因為你自己就是 really cheap ，非常小氣。

今日謎語：

The one that makes it sells it.

The one that buys it never uses it.

The one that uses it never knows that he's using it.

What is it?

答案明日揭曉。
