幽默小故事：请勿吸烟

Mrs. Green was the manager of a large company and she frequently had to have meetings with other business people in a room in her building. She did not smoke at all, but many of the other people at the meetings did, so she often found the air during the meetings terrible.格林太太是一家大公司的经理，必须经常在她大厦内的房间跟其他的`生意人开会。 她本人不抽烟，但是许多其他来开会的人却抽烟，所以她常常觉得会场里的空气令人难受。

One day,after an hour, her throat and eyes were sore and she was coughing a lot, so she called a big air conditioning company and asked them to work out how much it would cost to keep the air of the meeting room in her building really clean.有一天，开了一小时的会，她喉咙和眼晴都很痛，而且咳口嗽得很厉害，所以她就请了一家处理空气调节的大公司，请他们计算一下要花多少钱，才能使大厦会议室内的空气保持绝对干净。After a few days the air conditioning company sent in two estimatesfor Mrs. Green to choose from. One estimatewas for $5,000 to put in new air conditioning, and the other was for $5.00 for a sign which said, NO SMOKING.几天后受理空气调节的公司开了两张估价单供格林太太选择。 一张是花五千元来安置新的空气调节设备，另一张是花五块钱买一个“请勿抽烟”的牌子。
