Good Points and Bad Points 优缺点
"This house," said the real-estate salesman, "has both its good points and bad points. To show you I'm honest, I'm goint to tell you about the disadvantage - there is a chemical plant one block south and a slaughterhouse one block north."
“这幢房子，”房地产推销商说，“既有优点也有缺点。为了说明我是诚实的，我将告诉你们它的缺点：往南面一个街区是一家化工厂，往北面一个街区是一家屠宰场。”
"What are the advantages?" inquired the prospective buyer.
“那么它的长处呢？”预备购买房子的人问道。
"The good thing about it," said the agent, "is that you can always tell which way the wind is blowing."
“它的好处，”代理商说道，“就是，你总能分清风是从哪边吹过来的。”
