Terry Hatcher decided to redecorate her bedroom.She wasn't sure how many rolls of wallpaper she would need,but she knew that her friend Eva Longoria from next door had recently done the same job and the two rooms were identical in size.
“Eva.”she said,“how many rolls of wallpaper did you buy for your bedroom?”
“Ten.”said Eva.So Terry Hatcher bought the ten rolls of paper and did the job,but she had 2 rolls leftover.
“Eva.”she said.“I bought ten rolls of wallpaper for the bedroom,but I've got 2 leftover!”
“Yes.”said Eva.“So did I.”
泰瑞·海切尔决定重新装修房间。她不确定需要多少卷墙纸,但是她知道邻居伊娃·朗格利亚刚刚装修了房间,而且他们的房间大小相同。
“伊娃,”她问道,“你装修卧室时买了多少墙纸啊?”
“十卷,”伊娃回答到。于是泰瑞·海切尔买了十卷墙纸,但是房屋装修后,剩下了2卷。
“伊娃,”她说,“我买了十卷墙纸装修房间,但是剩下了2卷!”
“是的!”伊娃说,“我也是。”
