英语翻译
A store owner was tacking a sign above his door that read "Puppies For Sale." Signs like that have a way of attracting small children,and sure enough,a little boy appeared under the store owner's sign."How much are you going to sell the puppies for?" he asked.
The store owner replied,"Anywhere from $30 to $50."
The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change."I have $2.37," he said."Can I please look at them?"
The store owner smiled and whistled and out of the kennel came Lady,who ran down the aisle of his store followed by five teeny tiny balls of fur.One puppy was lagging considerable behind.Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging limping puppy and said,"What's wrong with that little dog?"
The store owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didn't have a hip socket.It would always limp.It would always be lame.The little boy became excited."That's the little puppy that I want to buy."
The store owner said,"No,you don't want to buy that little dog.If you really want him,I'll just give him to you."
The little boy got quite upset.He looked straight into the store owner's eyes,pointing his finger and said,"I don't want you to give him to me.That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price.In fact I'll give you $2.37 now,and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for.
The store owner countered,"You really don't want to buy this little dog.He is never going to be able to jump and play with you like the other puppies."
To this,the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted,crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace.He looked up at the store owner and softly replied,"Well,I don't run so well myself,and the little puppy will need someone who understands!"
一位店主正在门头上钉一块写着"出售小狗"的招牌.这样的招牌,是为了吸引小孩的注意.确实有效,一个小男孩来到店主的招牌下问道:“您的小狗卖多少钱?”
店主回答道:“从30美元到50美元不等.”
小男孩将手伸进口袋,拽出了几张钱:“我只有2.37美元.”他说道,“请你让我看看他们,好吗?”店主笑着吹了几声口哨,从窝里出来一只母狗,它沿着小店的过道跑过来,后面跟着5个小毛球.有一只小狗远远地落在后面.小男孩立刻就发现了那只掉队的跛腿小狗,问道:“那只小狗怎么啦?”
店主解释说,兽医已经给那只小狗做了检查,发现它没有臀臼,它可能将一直瘸着.小男孩变得很激动:“这就是我想买的小狗!”
店主说:“不,这才不是你想要的小狗.不过,如果你真的想要它,我就把他送给你.”
小男孩变得很悲伤,他盯着店主的双眼,指着小手说道:“我不希望你将它送给我,那只小狗和其他小狗一样,有同样的价值.我要付全价买它.但事实上,我现在只能给您2,37美元,每个月我都恢复给您50每分,直到我完全拥有它.”
店主继续说道:“你真正想要的怎么会是这只小狗,他永远不能像其他小狗一样陪你玩,陪你跳”
听到这话,小男孩弯下腰卷起裤腿,露出了他那条严重变形的,用一根很大的金属柱支撑的左腿.他抬起头,看着店主柔和的说道:“你看,我自己也不能正常地跑,况且小狗需要一些理解它的人吧”
我自己翻译的,应该挺准确的,
