"How much are the apples?" he asked the store.
"苹果怎么卖？"
"Six for five cents."
"五美分六个。"
"But I don't want six apples."
"但我不想要六个。"
"How many apples do you want?"
"你想要几个？"
"It is not a question of how many apples I want. It is a problem in arithmetic."
"这不是我想要几个的问题。这是个数学问题。"
"What do you mean by a problem in arithmetic?" asked the man.
"数学问题？你说这话是什么意思？"
"Well, if six apples are wroth five cents, then five apples are worth four cents, four apples are worth three cents, three apples are worth rwo cents, two apples are worth one cent and one apple is worth nothing. I only want one apple, and if one apple is worth nothing then it is not necessary for me to pay you."
"你看，如果六个苹果五美分，那么五个苹果四美分，四个苹果三美分，三个苹果二美分，二个苹果一美分，一个苹果就不要钱。我只要一个苹果，如果一个苹果一分钱也不要的话，那我也就没必要给你钱了。
