278　More than enough 过犹不及

After booking my 90-year-old mother on a flight, I called the airline to go over her needs. The woman representative listened patiently as I requested a wheelchair and an attendant for my mother because of her arthritis and impaired vision. I also asked for a special meal and assistance in changing planes. My apprehension lightened a bit when the woman assured me everything would be taken care of. I thanked her profusely. “Why, you're welcome,” she replied. I was about to hang up when she cheerfully asked, “And will your mother be needing a rental car?”

英语笑话

我给我90岁的老母亲订完飞机票以后，又给航空公司打电话，详细交代我母亲需要的东西。一位女代理耐心地听我说需要一个轮椅、一个空中小姐来照顾我母亲，因为她有关节炎，又有视力损害。我又要求特别的饭食，以及在转机时的辅助。那位女代理向我保证，她们会照顾好一切。这使我的担心减轻了一些。我对她谢了又谢。她说：“不必客气。”我正要挂电话，只听她高兴地问：“你母亲要不要租一辆车自己开？”
