题目

英语翻译
Richard was very stingy.He hated spending money.Whenever he had to buy something,he always wanted to pay less money,even for the cheapest things.If he wanted to buy a bottle of juice,for example,and the shopkeeper asked for $2,Richard would say,“Make it $1.90 and I’ll buy it.”
Sometimes the shopkeepers had to agree with him,“What’s ten cents?”they asked themselves,“If it makes it $1.90,the man is happy,and it won’t hurt my very much.”
In this way Richard saved a few cents here and a few cents there,and by the end of the year he had saved several hundred dollars.

答案

Richard（雷查得）很吝啬.他不愿（这个地方翻译成“憎恨,讨厌”的话不太好）花钱.当他不得不买点什么东西的时候,他总是想少付点钱,就算是买最便宜的东西也是这样.比如说,如果他想买一瓶橘子汁,店主要价2美元,Richard会说：“1.9美元我就买”.
有些时候店主不得不顺从他,“十美分算什么呢”他们扪心自问,“如果价钱改成1.9美元,这个男人就开心了,况且这也不会让我损失多少”.
就是用这种方式,Richard这里省几美分,那里省几美分.到了年终的时候,他就省下好几百美元了.
