848　I was to say something 我是想说什么

Mike and his wife Lisa went to the state fair every year. Every year Mike would say, “Lisa, I'd like to ride in that airplane.” And every year Lisa would say, “I know, Mike, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars.” One year Mike and Lisa went to the fair and Mike said, “Lisa, I'm 70 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year, I may never get another chance.” Lisa replied, “Mike, that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars.” The pilot overheard them and said, “Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten dollars.” Mike and Lisa agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word was heard. He did all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They landed and the pilot turned to Mike, “I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't.” Mike replied, “Well, I was to say something when Lisa fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars.”

麦克和他的妻子丽莎每年都去参观州博览会。每年麦克都说：“丽莎，我想坐那架飞机。”每年丽莎都说：“麦克，我知道。可是坐那架飞机要花十块钱，十块钱是很贵的。”有一年，麦克和他的妻子丽莎又来参观博览会。麦克说：“丽莎，我已经70岁了。如果我今年不坐飞机，就可能再也没有机会了。”丽莎说：“麦克，坐那架飞机要花十块钱，十块钱是很贵的。”飞行员听见他们说的话，就说：“老乡们，我来和你们做一笔交易。我让你们俩都上去飞一圈。如果你们在整个飞行中不说话，我就不收你们的钱。但是，只要你们说一个字，那就要收十块钱。”他们俩同意了，上了飞机。飞行员做了种种扭、拐、升、降等动作，没听到他们说一句话。于是把全套把戏又演一遍，还是没听到他们说一句话。飞机降落以后，飞行员对麦克说：“我尽了一切努力来让你们喊叫，但是你们没有叫。”麦克说：“嗯，丽莎掉出去的时候我是想说什么。可是十块钱是很贵的。”
