　　本篇大意是：木匠約翰給主人公的妻子做了一個(gè)小飯桌，結(jié)賬時(shí)的賬單上把成本費(fèi)17.00、油漆料錢1.50、工價(jià)8.00和日期10一起相加，多計(jì)價(jià)10元，結(jié)果被主人發(fā)現(xiàn)了，但他并沒有直接批評(píng)多要錢的木匠，只是詼諧地說：“月底30日做比月初10日做，還要貴些，是不是？”而且只付了木匠應(yīng)得到的26.50元錢．很明顯，本篇比上篇更難些，因上篇中主人公懷特和廠家雙方處理的問題是直接的，直言不諱，而本篇中的主人公卻是明人做暗事，肚內(nèi)藏機(jī)關(guān)，木匠雖然詭譎，主人卻更機(jī)靈，一眼看穿了木匠的把戲，但他處理問題頗有技巧，既解決問題，不多花錢，又不搞得很僵，雙方不快，體現(xiàn)了現(xiàn)代生意場(chǎng)中的交往策略和洽談風(fēng)格．我國(guó)正在建設(shè)社會(huì)主義市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)，這是法制化、規(guī)范化的市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)，反對(duì)不正當(dāng)?shù)母?jìng)爭(zhēng)．此文有一定的現(xiàn)實(shí)意義，文中的內(nèi)容聯(lián)系著當(dāng)代的社會(huì)生活，通過英語試卷，同樣可以檢驗(yàn)學(xué)生：的審視能力．
