美分cents[英][sents] [美][sents] 中英文小故事：多一分也不给 从前有个老财主，十分爱钱，把钱看得比自己的命还重要。平日里，他待家里的长工非常苛刻，总嫌他们干活不卖力。可到了发工钱时，他却一个子儿也不愿意多往外掏。 一次，财主和儿子外出去收地租，正遇上下大雨，山洪暴发，水势凶猛，眼看就要漫过小桥了。老财迷在儿子的搀扶下，小心翼翼地走在桥上。突然，老财迷脚下一滑，跌到水里去了。 “救人啊！快来救人啊！ ”财主的儿子拼命地喊，嗓子都喊哑了。 这时，几位农夫正从河边路过，他们看见有人落水了，连忙脱下衣服，准备跳到水里救人。 财主的儿子生怕他们不肯帮忙，焦急地说：“如果你们救了我爹，我就给你们50美分。” 仍在水里苦苦挣扎的老财迷听了儿子的话后非常生气，他训斥儿子道：“50美分？救个人还用花那么多钱吗？ 顶多给他们30美分！”农夫们听后很生气，也觉得很好笑。于是就止步观望。 老财迷被冲走了，渐渐被洪水吞没了。可人们仍然能听到他的呼喊声：“就给30美分！多一分也不给！” No More! Once upon a time, there lived an old rich man who loved money very much，and money seemed more important than his life.

Help!” The son shouted with all his might until his voice became hoarse. At that moment, several farmers happened to walk a- long the river. Seeing someone in the water, they took off their clothes hurriedly and were ready to jump down to save the old man. As the son was afraid that they wouldn’t help，he said anxiously, “If you save my father, I will pay you fifty cents. ” Hearing such words, the money-grubber who was still struggling in the water got angry. He scolded his son，‘Why fifty cents? Is it necessary to pay so much money for saving a person? No! No! Pay them no more than thirty cents!” Hearing this the farmers were very angry and also felt very funny，so they stopped and looked on.
