去年我换掉了房子里的所有的窗户,换上了那种很贵的高效节能的双层玻璃。但是这一周我接到了安装玻璃承包人打来的电话。他抱怨说活一年前就干完了，可是我到现在还没付钱。嘿，我是个金发女郎，但这并不意味着我一定就那么傻。因此我告诉他，去年他们口若悬 销售人员是怎么给我说的，具体地说，他们说一年之内这些窗户就会自己付钱。（self-pay, —个含义是自己付钱,另一个含义是体现出价值）。 嘿，都一年时间了！我提醒他。 电话另一端没有了声音，于是我挂断了电话。他再也没有打回来。 怎么样？我赢了那场愚蠢的争辩。 Self-pay Windows Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive double pane energy efficient kinds. But this week I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I hadn't paid for them. Halloos? Now just because I’m blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, namely, that in just ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves! Hallooed? It’s been a year! I told him. There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up. He didn’t call back. Guess I won that stupid argument. |
