百思買的iPad"買一送四"
An iPad would normally be considered a pretty substantial gift this holiday season. Thanks to a fortunate error by Best Buy, a couple of shoppers can now use the tablet computer for stocking stuffers.
iPad通常被認爲是節日季的一份很實際的大禮。由於百思買（Best Buy）的一次幸運的過失，一對買家現在可以把這個平板電腦當作是聖誕節的尊貴禮物了。Best Buy customer Alexa had ordered one iPad and was shocked when a neatly packed box of five showed up at her door. Legally, you can keep anything that is sent to you, whether you paid for it or not. But, through the website The Consumerist, the woman still contacted Best Buy and asked if there was a way she could return the items she didn’t pay for.
Alexa在百思買訂購了一臺iPad，卻驚喜地收到了一個大盒子，裏面有五臺iPad！法律上來說，無論你有無付款，凡發給你的貨物都歸你所有。但通過The Consumerist網站，Alexa還是聯繫到了百思買，詢問她是否可以退回那些沒付款的商品。This is the letter she got back:
這是她得到的回信：
Good afternoon, Alexa –
下午好，Alexa：Laura, from the Consumerist, contacted us here at Best Buy on your behalf. First and foremost, I wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your honesty. That is so rare in this day and age and I sincerely thank you!
The Consumerist（消費者）網站的Laura代你聯繫到我們百思買公司。首先，我們非常感謝你的誠實，這在這個時代是如此地罕見，真心謝謝你！We, here at Best Buy, acknowledge that we obviously made a mistake, but in the spirit of the holidays, we encourage you to keep the additional iPads and give them to people in need – friends, family, a local school or charity.
百思買確實在此事上出現了錯誤。考慮到聖誕節即將來臨，我們希望你留下這些多餘的iPad，把它們送給那些真正需要它們的人，如你的朋友、家人、當地學校或慈善機構。I have not shared this resolution with Laura, as you are the customer, but it is up to you if you want to let her know the outcome of your discussion.
因爲你是買家，我還沒有將這決定告知Laura，由你決定是否告知吧。Thank you so very much for coming forward and I hope your boyfriend enjoys his new iPad. Merry Christmas!
再次感謝你主動提出退貨，我希望你的男朋友會喜歡他的新iPad。聖誕節快樂!And Alexa isn’t the only one to have gotten five iPads for the price of one. Another man wrote into The Consumerist and said he had exactly the same experience. While he says he is keeping the extra iPads in his closet in case Best Buy comes knocking at his door, it looks like they are his to keep.
但Alexa並不是唯一一位買一送四的買家，另一男士也寫信給The Consumerist說他也同樣幸運。但他說他把多出來的iPad都收在壁櫥裏以防百思買來敲門要回那些iPads。
