原文
I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steele came in. Tony worked in a lawyer‘s office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty pounds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. "I have never borrowed any money from you," Tony said, "so now you can pay for my dinner!"
译文
我在餐馆里吃饭时候看到托尼.斯蒂尔正好走进来了。托尼之前工作在一个律师事务所,不过现在他去银行上班。他拿着不错的工资收入,但是却很喜欢照朋友借钱,都是借而不还。托尼看到我之后走到我面前坐下。他从来没有找我借钱。在他吃饭的时候,我请他借给我20英镑。让我感到意外的是,他毫不犹豫的给了我。“我从来没有找你结果钱”,他说,“所以你现在可以帮我付了这顿饭钱了”
One good turn deserves another
