英文短篇故事（纽约）103 Her Nose Is Running (2)

（单词翻译）

 　　Jerry took the box home. "They didn't have the box with 10 pills," he said. "So I got a box with 30." Elaine took a pill out of the box. "These are much bigger than the other pills," she said. "Are you sure they're the same?" He said, "Yes, it's the same active ingredient¹. The only difference is that you don't need to drink water with these." She said, "You know I always need water to swallow pills. You should have gone to another drugstore. These pills might not work." He said, "Of course they'll work. They're the same, exact pills!" She said, "How can they be the same? They're bigger!" He brought her some water. She took the pill. She went to work. She came home that evening. Her nose was running. Her eyes were itching². "I told you they weren't the same," she said. Jerry shook his head.
