建议advice[英][ədˈvaɪs] [美][əd'vaɪs] 中英文小故事：友好的建议 一天，一名电影演员去另一个小镇拜访朋友。他在小镇里转了好久也没能找到朋友的住处，不久就迷路了。 这个演员决定问问路。大街上空无一人。他看到大街拐角处有一家商店，便朝商店走去。 这是一家很小的商店，只卖报纸和香烟。橱窗上贴着一张告示，上面写着：“店面出售，有意者请入内。” 这位电影演员考虑片刻后，便走进了商店。柜台后面坐着一位老人，他把演员仔细地打量了一番，然后说：“你就是打算买这家店的人。” 电影演员笑着说：“你弄错了，我迷路了，你能告诉我去第三大街的路怎么走吗？” 老人起身，走到门前，指着那条路说：“沿着街向前走， 到红绿灯处向右拐。再到路口时向左拐。右边的第一条街就是第三大街。” “非常感谢！ ”演员对老人说，然后就离开 了。 演员是一个虚荣的人，没走几步，便停下了，心想：“老人看得那么仔细一定认出了我是谁，或许他想要我的亲笔签名。” 于是，他又回到店里。老人还是坐在柜台后面，演员便问：“你知道我是谁，是不是？” “是的，”老人回答道，“我说过了，你就是打算买这家店的人。” 电影演员说：“不是，不是，我是一名电影演员。你看过我刚刚拍的一部电影了吗？” “是的，我看过了。”老人说，“所以请相信我，如果你是个精明人，就会把这家店买下来的。” Friendly Advice One day，a movie actor went to visit a friend in another town. He walked around the town for a long time trying to find his friend's address，but he could not find it. Soon he was lost. He decided to ask for directions. There was no one in the street but he could see a shop on the corner. He walked towards it. The shop was very small. It sold only newspapers and cigarette. There was a notice in the window. The notice said，“Business For Sale. Inquire Within. ” The movie actor thought for a moment and then went into the shop. There was an old man sitting behind the counter. He looked at the movie actor very carefully. Then he said，“You are the man who’s going to buy the shop. ” The movie actor laughed. “No,”he said. “I am lost. Can you tell me how to get to Third Street?” The old man stood up and walked to the door. He pointed down the street. “Go down the street to the traffic lights, and then turn right. Take the next left. Third Street is the first street on the right. ” “Thank you very much,”the actor said and walked away. A few feet from the shop，he stopped walking. He was a very vain man，and he thought，“The old man looked at me very carefully. He knows who I am. Perhaps he wants my autograph. ” He turned and walked back to the shop. The old man was still sitting behind the counter. “You know who I am，do you?” he said to the old man. “Yeah,”the old man said. “I told you. You’re the man who，s going to buy this shop. ” “No，no,”the movie actor said. “I am a movie actor. Did you see my last movie?，， “Yeah，I saw it,”the old man said. “And believe me， if you are smart, you will be the one to buy my shop. ” 中英文例句 1. The legal advice appears ambiguous. 对此法律意见也含糊不清。 2.
