　　Trouble-free(没有麻烦的)
　　A college student went to a computer store for a second-hand computer. The salesman offered him one for $300.
　　“But is it a good one?” the student asked. “It is important for me to have a computer that works(能用的), as I like to spend a lot of time online with my friends.”
　　“Don’t worry,” said the salesman. “This computer will be trouble-free. I guarantee(保证) it.”
　　“Great,” said the student. “I’ll take it.”
　　A week later, he returned to the store with the computer under his arm. He was angry.
　　“I’ve had nothing but trouble with this machine you sold me. Every time I boot it up(启动) and connect to the Internet, it crashes(崩溃). You said it would be trouble-free. I want my money back.”
　　“No, no,” said the salesman. “The computer was $300. I meant that there was no charge(收费)for the trouble. It’s absolutely(绝对地)free.” 和谐英语
