The next day, she received a reply from the boss:
Dear Marian,

NOw the newspaper are saying the world’s leading ecoNOmists are NOt sure if the United States may go into aNOther recession. After the NOvember presidential elections things may turn bad.
I have NOthing more to add NOw. You kNOw what I mean.
Yours truly,
Manager
親愛的老板,
當今的生活，我們都有最迫切需要的東西。我想你應該明白我們的需要。工人們為貴公司付出了這麽多的努力，包括汗水和服務。
我相信你能猜到我的意思，並很快作出答複。
此致，
瑪麗安 石
第二天，她收到了老板的回信：
親愛的瑪麗安,
我知道你一直很努力工作。如今，什麽都沒有改變。你一定注意到了，我們公司還沒有做得很明顯的好。
現在報紙上都說了世界頂尖的經濟學家還不能確定美國是否可能進入另一次的衰退。十一月總統選舉後事情有可能更糟。
我沒有更多的補充了。你知道我的意思。
敬上，
經理
2 一個小姑娘的希望 A Girl's Wish
On the way home after watching a ballet performance, the kindergarten teacher asked her students what they thought of it. The smallest girl in the class said she wished the dancers were taller so that they wouldn't have to stand on their toes all the time.
看完芭蕾舞表演，幼兒園的老師在回家的路上問她班裏的孩子們感覺怎麽樣。班裏最小的一個女孩說，她希望演員們個子再高點就好了，這樣就不用踮著腳跳了。

老師：很對。
4 計劃你的將來 Make your fortune
"How did you make your fortune?"
"I became the partner of a rich man. He had the money and I had the experience."
"How did that help?"
"Now he has the experience and I has the money."
“你是怎麽計劃你的將來的？”
“我變成一個富人的合夥人，他有錢，我有經驗。”
“那有什麽用？”
“現在他有經驗了，我有錢。”
5 誰的50分 Whose 50 cents
Jacky: I found 50 cents on the sidewalk in front of school.
Tommy: I think it's mine. I dropped 50 cents there today and couldn't find it.
Jacky: But what I found was two quarters.
Tommy: Then I'm sure it's mine. It probably broke when it hit the sidewalk.
傑克：我在學校門前的人行道上揀了50分。
湯米：我想那是我的，今天我在那兒掉了50分，找不到了。
傑克：但是我揀的是兩個兩毛五的呀。
湯米：那就更是我的了。因為錢在掉到地上的時候可能摔兩半了。
6 你以為你是誰？ Who do you think you are?
The bus was crowded, and as one more man tried to get on, the passengers wouldn’t let him aboard.
“It is too crowded, “they shouted.” who do you think you are?”
“I am the driver.” he said.
公共汽車上很擠，當又一個人還是試圖上車時，乘客們不讓他上。
“車上太擠了，”他們喊道，“你以為你是誰？”
“我是司機！”他說。

小小啊,我真想加餐,就是不敢.原因很簡單,就是怕,怕,怕.....怕胖啊~~~
這個還含蓄嗎?意思已經那麽明顯:)
特同情小小,我昨晚最後也不行了,這是第四次.今早又好了,讓人捉摸不透.我這都是發生在周末.
問好小小!
記者：為什麽？
小男孩：因為不管老師問什麽，我都回答“不知道”。
看來哪國孩子都一樣啊。你翻譯的這些可以給讀者文摘投稿了。
在美國，加薪要直接提，這麽含蓄是不行滴：））

看了你的"達芬奇密碼"的讀後感和尋人啟事,覺得你讀過的書真多,也很有才.
我看過密碼的電影,也讀過中文版的,當時就看熱鬧了,不象你讀得那麽認真還激起了去發現的激情.
尋人啟事,太有才了,感覺像真的一樣:)
紐約美眉,周末快樂!
