116　Want a new car real bad 急需一辆新车

Snow was falling heavily the day I decided to visit a car dealership. I was confident I'd get a great deal, figuring the salesmen would be desperate for customers on such a lousy day. Sure enough, when I entered the showroom, I was the only client. But my hope of getting a good deal quickly faded with the salesman's first words. “Boy,” he said jovially, “you must want a new car real bad to come out on a day like this.”

下大雪那天我到卖车行去。我以为自己一定能拿到好价钱，因为这种坏天气销售商肯定会拼命拉顾客。毫无疑问，当我进入陈列室的时候，我是唯一的顾客。但是，当我听到销售商说的第一句话的时候，以为自己能够拿到好价钱的希望就破灭了。因为他友好地说：“你在这种坏天气出来，肯定是急需一辆新车。”
