Hint: Buck Williams Cal Ripken
Are there any bids? Ah yes, we start the bidding with the audacious former astronaut, Buck Williams, at $25,000. Any others? Thank you, sir. The bid is at $30,000. Now we have $35,000 from the famous athlete Cal Ripken. Yes sir, $38,000. Others? And again from Mr. Williams we have $40,000. Any others? Mr. Ripken you have attained the item of your choice. The atlas is yours for $42,000. I sense a slight asymmetry with your purchasing this item. I was sure Mr. Williams would want to augment his collection, but I guess your competitive attributes got the best of him this time. But this is not an audition for who can compete the best, Mr. Williams. Congratulations! Now let us move to the next item in the auction.
有人出價(jià)嗎？啊，好，我們的競(jìng)價(jià)開始了，具有冒險(xiǎn)精神的前宇航員巴克·威廉斯出價(jià)25000美元。還有其他人出價(jià)嗎?謝謝您，先生，您的報(bào)價(jià)是30000美元?，F(xiàn)在著名的運(yùn)動(dòng)員卡爾·里普金出價(jià)35000美元。好的，先生，38000美元。還有人出價(jià)嗎？好，威廉斯再次出價(jià)40000美元。還有其他人出價(jià)嗎?里普金先生，您已經(jīng)得到了你想要的東西。您以42000美元的價(jià)格拍得了這幅地圖。我覺得您購(gòu)買這幅地圖有些不對(duì)稱。我以為威廉斯先生會(huì)想增加他的收藏，但是我猜是您的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)特性使您這次擊敗了他。但這并不是一次看誰最能競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的試演，威廉斯先生。恭喜您!現(xiàn)在讓我們來看下一件拍賣品吧。
