Once a traveler wanted to visit Springfield by train. He went up to a ticket window and said to the conductor, "I want a ticket for Springfield."

"Which Springfield?" asked the conductor, "Springfield, Massachusetts; Springfield, Ohio; Springfield, Missouri; or Springfield, Illinois?" "Well, which is the cheapest?" asked the traveler.

有个旅行家想乘火车去游览斯普林菲尔德。他到一个售票窗口对售票员说：“我要一张去斯普林菲尔德的车票。”

“那个斯普林菲尔德呀？”售票员问道，“是马萨诸塞的，俄亥俄的，密苏里的还是伊利诺斯的？”旅行家说：“哦，哪里的最便宜呢？
