108、$500 Porsche! New!

A man was reading the paper when an ad caught his eye: $500 Porsche16! New! The man thought that it was very unusual to sell a Porsche for $500, and he thought it might be a joke, but thought it was worth a shot. So he went to the lady's house and sure enough, she had an almost brand new Porsche.
“Wow!”the man said. “Can I take it for a test drive?” Unlike what he expected, the man found that the car ran perfectly and took it back to the lady's house.
“Why are you selling me this great Porsche for only $500?”
“My husband just ran off with his secretary, and he told me I could have the house and the furniture as long as I sold his Porsche and sent him the money.”

500美元的保时捷！新的！

一名男子正在看报纸，突然“500美元的保时捷！新的！”的广告映入他的眼帘。这个人想一辆保时捷仅卖500美元太不寻常了，他想这也许是个玩笑，但又想不妨试试。于是他来到这位女士家，果真，这位女士有一辆几乎崭新的保时捷。
“哇！”男人说：“我可以试试开一会吗？”出乎他的意料，他发现这辆车行驶完全正常了，
于是他把车开回女士家。
“为什么这么棒的保时捷你只以500美元的价格卖给我？”
“我丈夫和他的秘书跑了，他告诉我我可以拥有房子和家具，只要我把卖保时捷的钱给他就行了。”

109、Bad Luck

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma17 for several months, yet she stayed by his bedside every single day. When he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.
As she sat by him, he said, "You know what? You have been with me all through18 the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what?"
"What dear?" She asked gently.
"I think you bring me bad luck."

倒霉运
