一个阿拉伯学生寄给父亲的电子信件:
Dear Dad,
Berlin is wonderful, people are nice and I really like it here, but Dad,
I am bit ashamed to arrive to my college with my Gold Mercedes, when
all my Teachers travel by train.
Your Son
Nasser
亲爱的父亲,
柏林非常棒,人也很亲切,我很喜欢这里。
可是,我对开着金造的奔驰轿车来学校有点惭愧,因为我的老师们都是坐火车来的。
你的儿子
纳瑟

Sometime later Nasser gets reply to his e-mail from his Dad
Loving Son,
Twenty Million Dollars transferred to your account, please stop
embarrassing us, go and get yourself a train too.
Your Dad
不久后,纳瑟收到他父亲的回信。
我深爱的儿子,
2000万美元已转入你的帐户,也去买一辆火车,不要让自己丢脸。
你的父亲
