英語寓言故事雙語版:禁菸
編者按：《禁菸》是一篇英語寓言故事，講述的是一家公司在會議上講述抽菸這個話題，用提示板寫出不準吸菸的故事。
Mrs. Green was the manager of a large company and she frequently had to have meetings with other business people in a room in her building. She did not smoke at all, but many of the other people at the meetings did, so she often found the air during the meetings terrible.
One day,after an hour, her throat and eyes were sore and she was coughing a lot, so she called a big air conditioning company and asked them to work out how much it would cost to keep the air of the meeting room in her building really clean.
After a few days the air conditioning company sent in two estimates for Mrs. Green to choose from. One estimate1 was for $5,000 to put in new air conditioning, and the other was for $5.00 for a sign which said, NO SMOKING.
格林女士是一家大型公司的總經理，她經常在公司會議室開一些商業會議。她從不抽菸，但是會上許多人都愛抽菸，弄得空氣很糟糕。因此，她經常不得不在開會的時候出來透透氣。
有一天，在開了一個小時會以後，她感覺嗓子和眼睛痠疼，而且不停咳嗽。於是她給一家空調公司打電話，問他們要使會議室的空氣保持清新需要花費多少錢。
幾天後，空調公司的人給格林女士提供了兩個報價：
1，花5000美元裝一部新的空調;
2，花5美元製作一塊提示牌，上面寫：不準吸菸!
