Expensive Advice

昂貴的建議

The doctor finally reached his table at a dinner, after breaking away from a woman who sought advice on a health problem.

大夫在打發走了一個就健康問題向他諮詢的婦女之後，最後來到餐桌上。

"Do you think I should send her a bill?" the doctor asked a lawyer who sat next to him.

“你認爲我應該向她收費嗎？”大夫問坐在身邊的一個律師。

"Why not?" the lawyer replied. "You rendered professional services by giving advice."

“有什麼不應該？”律師答道，“你通過提建議提供了職業性服務。”

"Thanks," the physician said. "I think I'll do that."

“謝謝，”大夫說道，“看來我得這麼做。”

When the doctor went to his office the next day to send the bill to the woman, he found a letter from the lawyer. It read:

第二天當大夫去辦公室給那位婦女寫賬單時，他收到律師的一封信。信中寫道：

"For legal services, $50."

“請付法律服務費５０美元。”
