当我们到处看，到处摸，到处感受的劲头在意大利慢慢消退的时候，我们来到了伊斯坦布尔。它是世界上唯一的横跨欧亚两洲的城市。还在飞机上我们的导游就这样描述它：“一个发展中的，杂乱的，壮观的城市”。2

还没来得及到处看，我们的行李就被放到了汽车上。稍事休息后，我们开始在和煦的阳光下散步，一边喝着土耳其茶，一边欣赏着跨越博斯普鲁斯海峡的这座城市。然后我们乘坐一条慢船通过博斯返回普鲁斯海峡到东方快车火车站去观赏一种宗教色彩很浓的旋转舞。漫步在伊斯坦布尔如画的大街上，我一下子感觉到似乎回到了两千年前。3

我们的导游告诉我们，当地有一个民间的谚语：来到伊斯坦布尔就要去集市，就要买地毯。我们的确来到了人头攒动的市场，但是我们尽量不想买地毯。在集市里狭窄的街道上，有很多商人友好地招呼我们，“先生，您从哪里来的？您觉得伊斯坦布尔怎么样？您在这里住多少天？来我的店里看看吧。我保证，您不一定要买，就看看。”返回

4

他们很活跃很有创造力。在一个地毯店里，主人掀起他的上衣，转了一圈来证明他身上没有枪。“我们是在伊斯坦布尔，不是在摩洛哥”，他说道。意思是让我们不要有购买的压力。他的确不像其他的卖地毯的那样粗鲁。但是他做了30分钟的地毯演示，同时他的同伴像马戏团的表演者一样把许多地毯猛地摔在地上，这还是让我们有了些压力。最后，一杯上好的土耳其茶也变魔术般地出现在我们手上，这时他问道：“怎么样，有没有看上一款地毯？”“当然看上了，我们可以运回加拿大去”。真是感谢他，我们没有买任何东西，他就让我们走了。返回

5

我觉得我找到了一个应付地毯商人的好办法——他们能明白开玩笑。当不能产生别的交换时，幽默就像是一种象征性的交换。6“先生，来看一看我漂亮的地毯吧。”7“谢谢，我对地毯过敏。”或者“对不起，我已经买了10个了。”8

这时候他们会笑一笑，轻轻地拍一下我的肩膀，我猜想这是一种理解的标志，这样我们分手的时候就避免了表面上的尴尬和难过。返回ExercisesReadingTaskLanguageinUseBlankFillingTranslation
