1. Mistake

A boss decided to have a sudden check about his factory. When he came to the storehouse1, he saw a young man leisurely2 leaning against one package doing nothing.

How much is your week pay? The boss asked angrily.

$100. was the young man's answer.

The boss took out his wallet, counted five 20s, "Here is your pay of one week," he shouted, "Now get out of here and never come back!"

The young man took the money and went away quickly. The manager of the storehouse watched all this surprisingly.

And now you tell me, the boss inquired, "How long did that guy work here?"

He did not work here. The manager replied.

失　误

一个工厂的老板决定对工作场地做一次突击检查。当他来到库房时，看到了一个年轻人什么活也不干，懒散地倚在一个包装箱上。

“你一个星期的薪水是多少？”老板气哼哼地问道。

“100元?！蹦昵崛嘶卮鹚?。

老板掏出钱包，点了五张20元的票子?！案阋桓鲂瞧诘墓ぷ?。”他喊道，“现在你给我滚，别再来了！”

这个年轻人把钱塞进口袋急忙走开了。一直站在旁边的库房经理惊讶地看着这一切。

“现在告诉我”，老板说道，“这家伙在这儿干了多久了？”

“他不在这儿工作?！本砘卮鹚?。
