When a man called a motel and asked how much they charged for

　　a room, the clerk told him that the rates depend on room size andnumber of people.

" Do you take children?" the man asked.

"No, sir," replied the clerk. "Only cash and credit cards."

　　

一个人打电话给一家汽车旅馆询问房租，旅馆的工作人员回答说 房租的多少取决于房间的大小和住客的人数。

“小孩儿算不算呢？”那人问道。

“不算，先生。”服务员回答，“我们只算现金和信用卡。”
