章节摘录

　　1．昂贵的马鞭　　有一天，市场上来了个卖马鞭的人。他的马鞭看上去似乎并　　不怎么样。　　有个人问他：“你的马鞭多少钱呀?”他出的价钱把人吓了　　一跳：“5万钱。”买东西的人说：“你是不是疯了?这种马鞭最多　　值50钱，你怎么卖这么贵呢?50钱怎么样?”卖马鞭的人忽然　　笑了起来，理也不理他。这个人又试探道：“那500钱呢?”卖　　马鞭的人显出很生气的样子。这个人知道这马鞭不值什么钱，存　　心逗逗他，又说：“5000钱总该行了吧(7”卖马鞭的大怒道：“你　　不想买就走，我是一定要5万钱才卖的!”　　这时，一个有钱的少爷来买鞭子，见这卖鞭子的态度如此坚　　决，以为这鞭子真的有什么独到之处，就出5万钱买了下来，然　　后，他就拿着这根昂贵的马鞭到处炫耀。　　有识货的人拿过马鞭仔细看了看，边摇头边问这个阔少爷：　　“这根马鞭究竟有什么稀罕的地方，值得你花5万钱买下呢?”阔　　少节装模作样地说：“我喜欢它金黄耀眼的颜色。那个卖鞭子的　　人还说了很多好处呢!”那人也不多说什么，将马鞭浸在热水里，　　不一会儿，鞭子就扭曲了，收缩得厉害，金黄色也掉了。　　阔少节也明白了鞭子是劣等货，但又不愿丢面子，还是拿这　　马鞭用了3年。有一次，他骑马出去游玩，举起鞭子抽马时力气　　稍大了点，鞭子竟然断了，他也从马上跌下来，还受了伤。　　卖马鞭的就是利用阔少爷的虚荣心来出售劣质货。如果一个　　人只图虚荣而不注重实际，是注定要吃亏上当的。　　The Expensive Horsewhip　　One day, a horsewhip-seller came to a market. His　　horsewhip didnt seem good.　　A man asked, "How much is your horsewhip?" The price　　the seller offered surprised him, "50,000 copper coins." The　　buyer said, "Are you crazy? This kind of horsewhip costs at　　most 50 copper coins. Why is yours so expensive? How about　　50 copper coins?" The horsewhip-seller suddenly laughed　　and paid no attention to him. The buyer asked tentatively,　　"Then how about 500 copper coins?" The horsewhip-seller　　appeared to be very angry. The man knew that the horsewhip　　wasnt worth that much, but he wanted to tease the horsewhip　　seller. So he said again, "OK, should 5,000 copper coins be　　enough?" The horsewhip-seller was so angry that he shouted,　　"Go away if you dont want to buy it. Ill sell it at 50,000　　copper coins by all means!"　　Just then, a rich childe came to buy a horsewhip. When　　he saw the seller insisting in selling his horsewhip at such a　　high price, he believed that there was really something special　　about it. He bought it with 50,000 copper coins and then　　showed off with it everywhere.　　An expert took the horsewhip and examined at it closely.　　Shaking his head, he asked the childe, "Whats special about　　the horsewhip that makes you buy it with 50,000 copper　　coins?" The rich childe answered, "I like its shiny golden　　color. Besides, the horsewhip-seller mentioned a lot of good　　things about it." Without saying more about it, the expert put　　the horsewhip inside some hot water. Soon the horsewhip　　twisted, shrank, and the golden color was gone.　　The childe then understood that the horsewhip was bad.　　But he didnt want to lose face, so he used the horsewhip for　　three years. Once when he rode out to play, he whipped the　　horse a little bit hard and the horsewhip broke. He fell down　　from the horse and got hurt.　　The horsewhip-seller took advantage of the rich childes　　vanity to sell bad things. If ones only thought is to show off　　rather than be realistic, he will surely suffer losses.P1-3
