John D.Rockefeller, the wellknown millionairecontributed millions to the poor who suffereddisasters, but he himself was very mean about smallsums of money. One day he went to stay at a hotelin New York and asked for the cheapest room in it.He said,“I am staying here alone and only need asmall room."
著名的百万富翁，约翰·戴维德·洛克菲勒，为受灾的穷人捐款达数百万元，但他本人在小钱上却非常节俭。有一天，他去住纽约的一家旅馆，要了旅馆里最便宜的房间。他说：“我一个人住在这儿，只需要一个小房间。”
The manager showed him into a room and said,“This is our cheapest room with simplyequipment,” and added,“but why do you choose a poor room like this? When your son stayshere, he always has our most luxurious room, yours is our cheapest."
旅馆经理领他到一个房间里，说：“这是我们这里最小最便宜的房间，只有简单的设备。”接着又说：“可是你为什么要选这么差的房间呢?您的公子每次住在我们这里，都要最豪华的房间;而您却住最便宜的。”
"Oh! yes, I envy him very much,"said Rockefeller,"because his father is a rich man but mineisn't."
“哦，是的，我很羡慕他。”洛克菲勒说：“他的老爸是个有钱人;我老爹却不是。”
