1. My Boss's Idea
When my printer's type (喷墨打印机) began to faint(模糊不清), I called a local repair shop, where a friendly man imformed (told) me that the printer probably needed only to be cleaned. Because the store charged (收费)$50 for such cleanings, he told me, I might be better off reading (be better off doing"对做某事来说"是较为明智的;最好......) the printer's manual(说明书) and trying the job myself.
Pleasantly surprised by his candor(坦白;率直),"Does your boss know that you discourage business (退掉生意)?"
"Actually it's my boss's idea," the employee replied sheepishly (腼腆地;羞怯地). "We usually make more money if we let people try to fix things themselves first."
