489　Better Speakers 好一点的讲员

As a traffic safety consultant, I often gave talks to organizations on accident prevention. One night after I spoke to a PTA group, the program chairperson thanked me profusely and gave me a check for fifty dollars. “Giving these presentations is part of my job,” I said. “Could I donate the money to one of your courses?” “That would be wonderful,” she gushed. “We have just the program that could use it. We're trying to raise money so we can afford better speakers.”

作为交通安全顾问我经常给各种组织讲如何预防交通事故。一天晚上，我给家长教师协会讲完话，主持人着实地感谢了我一番，并且给了我一张50美元的支票。我说：“做这样的讲演是我工作的一部分。我能不能把这笔钱捐给你们的课程？”她高兴地说：“那太好了。我们正好有一个计划可以用这笔钱。我们正在筹集资金，这样就可以请好一点的讲员。”
