122　Personal Experience 亲身经历

I am teaching business class at the local prison. One night, when in the chapter on banking, I mentioned that, on average, ATM contains only about $15,000 at a given time. Just then a man in the back raised his hand. “I'm not trying to be disrespectful,” he said, “but the machine I robbed had about $50,000 in it.”

我在一个当地的监狱里教商科。一天晚上，在教银行系统这一章的时候，我谈到自动提款机里面平均只有大约1.5万美元。就在这时候，后排有一个男子举起了手。他说：“我不是存心要不尊敬你。不过我抢的那台自动提款机里面大约有5万美元。”
