木匠carpenter[英]['kɑ:pəntə(r)] [美]['kɑ:rpəntər] 中英文小故事：木匠 一个年老的木匠就要退休了。他告诉他的老板——那个承包商——有关他的计划:离开房屋建筑业，和妻子悠闲地享受天伦之乐。虽然会怀念那份工资，但他的确需要退体了，再说他们的生活还过得去。 看到自己这么好的一个员工要走了，这位承包商很难过，问木匠是否愿意再造最后一座房子，就算是帮他个忙。木匠答应了，但很快你就看得出木匠的心思 早就不在工作上了:他用蹩脚的手艺、劣质的材料造起了一座房子。用这种方式来告别他干了一辈子的事儿，真让人感到不幸。 木匠的工作结束后，有人将房子检查了一遍。承包商将大门钥匙递给了木匠。 “这是你的房子,”他说道，“这是我送你的礼物。” 太让人吃惊了！也太令人羞愧了！如果他知道是在给自己造房子的话，是绝不会这样做的。现在他不得不住在自己建造的蹩脚至极的屋子里。 The Carpenter An elderly carpenter was ready to retire.
