发帖数: 200 | 1 我很喜欢钢笔。
国内的时候，只要到别的城市，要是进了商场，必须要到文具柜台看看，发现比较好的
钢笔，就买回来。
出国的时候，带了好几支钢笔过来。
但是没有带墨水。
到商店一看，乖乖隆冬的，韭菜炒大葱！
墨水好贵啊！
买不起。
回到实验室，马上找老板秘书，要求买墨水！
哈哈哈，秘书请示老板，老板没有同意。
这两天看书累了，上Cragslist 上面看看，有没有卖钢笔的。
一看，还真有。
贵的，有好几千美元的。
有一只便宜的，10美元。钢笔的牌子也还可以。如果买新的，估计得上百美元。
但是搜了一下地址，要几个小时的车程。
于是，和钢笔的主人电子邮件联系：
May 9，2017
Me：
Hello, I am interested in your baby pen that you posted on Craiglist.
However, I am living in Brookline. By any means what is the possibility that
the pen can be transferred from your hand to my hand?
:-)
Owner of the pen:
I can mail it. For 10.00 it's worth the postage.
在这个电子邮件里面，钢笔的主人给了我他的正式的名字和地址。名字和地址是电子邮
件里面固定的签名和地址。
我古狗了一下，哈哈，钢笔的主人是康州 哈特福德大学副校长。
我担心是别的人搞什么恶作剧，就要求钢笔的主人把他的地址和姓名确认一下。

Me:
Dear Mr. XXXX:
You are so nice.
I was born to read books and scratch on the book I read. I like use fountain
pen more than any other pens.
Please, may you give me your address and I mail a ten dollar bill to you,
then you mail the pen to me if you don't mind it bothers you too much.
Best regards,
Francis
很快得到回复。
Owner of the pen:
Thx let me weigh it and see what the postage will be to Ma.

Cragslist 上面的广告，有照片，钢笔是放在一个漂亮的盒子里面的。于是：
Me:
Please, just the pen without the box.
Thanks!
;-)
Owner of the pen:
Send your address and ten dollar bill thx.
Me:
Please, where should I mail the ten dollar bill?
Owner of the pen:
XX Hockanum Blvd , XXXX, Vernon, Ct XXXXXXX
XXXXX X XXXXX, MSPA
Me:
Thank you!
I will do it asap.
Owner of the pen:
Ok. Thanks.
于是，我将一张10美元放进一个小信封，同时又放进一张邮票，再放进一个大的信封里
面，邮寄出去。
再发电子邮件：
Hi, FYI, I just mailed the 10 dollar bill along with a stamp to you.
Thank you!
我每天看看邮箱，等待着主人将钢笔寄给我。
等啊等啊，终于等到了！
结果，我的信被退回来啦！
在信封里面放了邮票，信封外面，忘记贴邮票啦！
赶紧贴上邮票，重新寄出去。
收到电子邮件：
Owner of the pen:
In order for it not be crushed. It had to mailed as a package. It cost me 2.
00 more. If you want to pay me I would appreciate it.
xx Hockanum Blvd. xxxx, Vernon, Ct xxxxx
xxxxx x xxxxx, MSPA
Me:
Thank you!
I will do it asap.
再次将2美元寄出。
同时，不忘调侃一下：
邮件1
Me：
Thank you for mailing it to me. I will mail you two more dollars anyway even
which is unexpected.
邮件2
Me：
FIY:
I just mailed two dollars to you.
Owner of the pen:
Thanks
昨天收到钢笔。但是，只有钢笔，没有盒子。然而，里面有备用的墨水。
我不忘调侃一下：
Me：
FYI： I received the pen without a box today. :-)
Thanks.
回复：
Owner of the pen:
The box would fit at +2.00 do you want box? I gave u the ink instead。
As a reminder, you send one stamp to cover postage but I sent the box it
would have been much more. I see want the box cost.
显然，主人还没有收到我寄去的2美元。
Me:
Per your request, I mailed you two more dollar. :-)
Please, I am just kidding. No big deal.
Enjoy the summer.
Owner of the pen:
I will see if it can be send in an envelope. No guarantee it won't be
crushed. Thx
Me：
Please! Don't mail it to me. I did not ask. I just made the jokes with you.
You spent the time to mail the pen to me, I appreciated it.
但是，钢笔的主人坚持要将盒子寄给我：
Owner of the pen:
Ok. It only cost 42 cents I will。

我无话可说。
生活，常常枯草而又乏味。
我喜欢想办法加点油盐酱醋，再加点味精。
生活的味精从哪里来？
希望这个小故事能够告诉您答案。 |
