I bought some pears at my local

supermarket. At the checkout counter the

cashier commented,"Oh,dear,I 've charged

you for plums instead of pears."

"What's the difference?"I asked.

"Well,"she said"plums are small and round".

我在市超级市场买了些梨子。在付款台，收银

员说：“哦，天哪，你这是梨子，我按李子收钱

了。”

“有什么区别吗？”我问。

“哦，”她说，“李子小一点但很圆。”
