A couple of years ago, I received a $600 insurance dividend(保险股息). Sitting at the kitchen table, my wife and I discussed what we might do with the money. I realize now that the refrigerator overheard our talk. The very next day it went wrong. The repairman told us we needed a new unit. Cost: $ 600. Not long after we got a refund(偿还款)from a shop, enough to pay for a trip in Mexico.“I’ve something to tell you,”I said to my wife, in a low voice.“How about the living room?”she suggested. I remembered the colour TV set is there.“No, not there. Let’s go out.”I showed her the check as we stood on the driverway. We held each other excitedly and hardly noticed the rain. My car was parked within 5 metres. I didn’t think anything about it at the time. As I started for the train the next day, the car began making strange sounds. Changing the engine cost about $1,000.
Then I looked through our financial(财务的)records. I discovered that during the last ten years we spent all our“found money”(外财)replacing a hot water heater, a television and a stove.
I never mention money in front of our mechanical equipments. But if this article is published and I am paid for, the word processor(文字处理机)is going to go for sure. It’ll know.
