#国才英语干货# 我们常常听说这样一句话:There's no such thing as a free lunch.(没有免费的午餐),你知道这句话是怎么来的吗?
十九世纪的时候,美国有些酒吧给顾客提供“免费的午餐”。所谓午餐,其实不过是些用来和啤酒一起送出的脆饼;而所谓免费,当然不是真的,不买酒喝就没有饼吃。所以,当时有人说:There's no such thing as a free lunch.
到了二十世纪七十年代,经济学家弗里德曼 (Milton Friedman)写的一本书用了这句话做书名。他在别的著作、演讲里也多次引用这句话。于是,这句话就又流行了起来。有时,我们不相信会得到一些优惠,就可以用这句“弗里德曼名言”。
例如:
I don't believe he's giving us the money without any ulterior motive. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
我不相信他送钱给我们不是别有用心,世上没有免费的午餐。

仔细考虑了他俩的Enneagram类型,毫无疑问Brasidas是type1,Kassandra是type8 (maybe):
“In many ways, these two types are opposites-the pirate and the schoolteacher-although both could learn a great deal from the other, if they are willing to listen to someone with such different values, reactions, and ways of doing things.”
