But every evening, when Mr. Jones came back from work, his wife continued to speak only about the dress, and at last, after a week, he said, “Oh, buy the dress! Here is the money!” She was very happy.
但天天晚上，当Mr. Jones工作回来，他老婆就不断地只谈论那条裙子，最后，一个星期的持续将来，他说：“哦，买了那条裙子吧，给你钱！”她非常高兴。
But the next evening, when Mr. Jones came home and asked, “Have you got the famous dress?” she said, “No.”
但第二天晚上，Mrs. Jones一回来就问：“买了那条有名的裙子了吗？”她说：“没。”
“Why not?” he said.
“为何不买？”他问。
“Well, it was still in the window of the shop after a week, so I thought, nobody else wants this dress, so I don't want it either.”
“嗯，由于它仍然在那家店的镜柜里已经一星期了，所以我感觉，无人想要那条裙子，所以我也不想要了。”
