Commitment

A new vacuum cleaner salesman knocked on the door on the first house of the street.
一位售卖新款式的真空吸尘器的推销员敲了街道第一家的门。
A tall lady answered the door. Before she could speak, the enthusiastic salesman barged into the living room and opened a big black plastic bag and poured all the cow droppings on to the carpet.
一个高大的老太太打开了门。她还来不及说话，热情的推销员就闯入客厅，接着打开一个黑色大塑料袋，把所有的牛粪便倒到地毯上。
"Madam, if I could not clean this up with the use of this new powerful vacuum cleaner within 15 minutes, I will EAT all this dung!" exclaimed the eager salesman.
“夫人，我会使用这又新又强大的真空吸尘器清理干净这一切，如果我不能在15分钟内完成它，我会吃完地毯上的牛粪！”热心的推销员喊道。
"Do you need chili sauce or ketchup with that" asked the lady.
“你需要辣椒酱或番茄酱吗？”那位女士问。
The bewildered salesman asked, "Why, madam?"
推销员茫然地问道：“为什么，夫人？”
"There's no electricity in the house..." said the lady.
“家里没有电流供应。。。”那位女士说。
