英语笑话

925　9 items or fewer 九件商品以下

I knew immediately I was in one of those fancy food boutiques when I saw the sign over the express lane. Instead of reading “9 items or less,” it said “9 items or fewer.”

我一看在快速交款队列上面挂着的牌子，就知道这是一家出售昂贵食物精品的商店。它不是写9 items or less而是写9 items or fewer。（注：按英语语法，应该说9 items or fewer，可是大多数商店都写9 items or less。）
