Case 1:
We were in a Chinese restaurant and a waiter came to take our orders.
Kelly: 要一个蚝油芥兰。
Waiter: 对不起,我们今天没有。
Me: 那就清炒芥兰咯。
Waiter: 我们没有的是芥兰,不是蚝油。
Me: .... .... .... ....
Case 2:
I went to Coles one day, and saw a label said "Muffins-- buy one get one free". And at the very bottom of the label, it said "save $4.00".
Then I was thinking:"Hmmm.... save two dollars.... 那原价是多少呢,是不是一块还是两快啊?"
I looked up and down for the original price and found the price label said "Muffins-- original price: $4.00".... ....
Oh gosh.... I was so embarrassed with my stupid thoughts..... I couldn't believe that ME as an engineer can be so bad in these simple mathematics.... ...
