Буфетчица в кафетерии филфака говорилa напарнице, с ненавистью глядя на очкариков:

– Давай ты напишешь на ценнике: «Свеже-сваренный кофе – 100 рублей», а я напишу: «Свежесвареное кофе – 50 рублей».
Посмотрим, как они мучаются моральной дихотомией и предают свои идеалы.


The cashier in the coffee shop in the university's English department said to her colleague, whilst looking at the bespectacled customers with undisguised contempt:

"How about this? You should write on the price list: 'Freshly brewed coffee: $4', and I will add, 'Fresh brood cofee: $2'. And then both of us can watch them suffer from moral dichotomy and betray their ideals."
