。A young business man had just started his business, and rented a beautiful office。 Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office。
   Wishing to appear busy, the businessman picked up the phone and pretended that he had a big deal working。 He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments。
  
  

一个年轻人刚开始做生意，租了一间漂亮的办公室。坐在办公室，他看见一个人从外面走进办公室。装着很忙的样子，他拿起话筒，假装正在跟人谈一笔很大的生意。他从嘴里说出的，都是数目很大的数字，还有口气很大的许诺。 希望能帮到你。

  给你找了一个范文，你作为参考吧，可以背下来，A man was going to the house of some rich person。 As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road。
   He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat。
  " Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust。

He went on and came to a river。 The river had become very big; so he could not go over it。
   He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river。"

He began to go home。
   He had eaten no food that day。 He began to want food。 He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them。
  

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time。

【译文】

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。
  ”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。
  

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。
