英语寓言故事双语版:禁烟

　　编者按：《禁烟》是一篇英语寓言故事，讲述的是一家公司在会议上讲述抽烟这个话题，用提示板写出不准吸烟的故事。

　　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总经理，她经常在公司会议室开一些商业会议。她从不抽烟，但是会上许多人都爱抽烟，弄得空气很糟糕。因此，她经常不得不在开会的时候出来透透气。

　　几天后，空调公司的人给格林女士提供了两个报价：

　　1，花5000美元装一部新的空调;

　　2，花5美元制作一块提示牌，上面写：不准吸烟!
