MAGI JIM SELLSGIRL

A:Why are there so many things that we have to give up in the world?Giving up for what?

吉姆走进商店

J:Excuse me,could I sell a watch here?

S:(上下打量的眼神) You? Sell a watch? I'm sorry, I don't think a man who has a economic brain will buy a thing which is as useless as litter.

J:(诚恳又着急)No, it is a gold watch!(脱下手腕上的手表) It's the most valuable thing I have.

S:(不屑一顾)Oh?The most valuable?I have to see how rare a watch can a poor man own like you !

J:(递表)It's the third succession of my ancesters.

A: Oh, what a reluctant give up!

S:(抢过表，忽然两眼放光) Amm, it's a true gold watch.

How much do you want?

J:(指着柜台内的一套发梳) I don't want any money. I, I just want the beautiful comb! S:You mean,the comb?(拿出发梳)You just want the comb?

J:Yes, it is the very thing that my wife has wanted for a long time!

A:His wife?Comb?

S:(兴奋)Oh, look at it! What a nice comb!

J:Yes, it is quite beautiful! It would be good enough to match my wife's golden yellow hair.But,do you want to trade with me?

S:(故做忧郁状) Let me see！

J: I'm pleasant to exchange the gold watch for the comb. I know how my wife likes it! S:You're so whole-hearted that it's hard for me to refuse you!（递过发梳）

J: Oh,thank you!(兴奋地接过发梳)Thank you!(兴奋地带着发梳下)

S:(细看金表)Oh, good guy! It's a true sense of gold watch!(窃喜)No comb can be compared with it!

A: He should not be a foolish man!But he is willing to change a gold watch for a comb!She must be a happy wife!
