观此短文，方知还是苹果公司有创意呀，还是微软会抄袭呀！
草民尽量用简单的词汇和简单的结构来翻译此笑话，看官轻拍！
一次，三个苹果公司的工程师和三个微软公司的职员乘火车到另一个城市去开会。在火车站三个微软公司的职员每个人各买了一张火车票。然而他们惊奇地看到三个苹果公司的工程师一***只买了一张火车票。
One day, there were three engineers from Apple, and three clerks from Microsoft, they all needed to travel by train to attend a meeting in another town. At the Train Station, each clerk from Microsoft bought a ticket. They were surprised to find that the three engineers of Apple only bought one ticket.
“你们三个人怎么可以只用一张火车票乘火车旅行呢？”一个微软公司的职员问。
“How can you three guys travel with only one ticket?” one of the Microsoft clerks asked.
“你们就等着瞧吧。”苹果公司的工程师回答。
“Let’s wait and see.” One of the Apple engineers answered.
他们都上了火车。微软的职员每个人找到自己的座位，而三个苹果的工程师却挤进了一个卫生间，然后从里面把门关上。火车开动没有多久，列车员开始收票。他走到卫生间的门口，敲了敲门，说道：“请拿出车票。”卫生间的门仅仅打开了一道缝，从里面伸出一只胳膊，手里拿着一张车票。列车员收了车票就继续到别的地方去了。微软的职员看了以后觉得这真是一个绝妙的主意，所以开完会后，他们决定也照此办理，拷贝苹果工程师的办法，在回去的路上也能省一些钱。他们来到火车站只买了一张回程车票。可是，令他们惊愕的是，苹果的工程师一张车票也没买！
They all boarded the train. Each of the Microsoft clerks found his seat, while the three Apple engineers squeezed themselves into a restroom, and then closed the door. The conductor began collecting tickets not long after the train started. He went to the door of the restroom, knocked on the door and said, “Ticket, please.” The restroom door was opened just a little, a hand reached out with a ticket in it. After collecting the ticket, the conductor went on to other places. The Microsoft clerks thought this a marvelous idea and decided, once the meeting was over, they would copy what the Apple engineers had done, to save some money on the trip back home. They went to the Train Station and bought only one ticket for the trip back home. But they were shocked to find that the Apple engineers didn’t bother buying even one single ticket!
“你们怎么一张车票也不买就能乘火车呢？”一个迷惑不解的微软职员问道。
“How can you guys travel by train without even one ticket?” a perplexed Microsoft clerk asked.
“你们就等着瞧吧。”一个苹果的工程师回答。
“Let’s wait and see.” One of the Apple engineers answered.
当他们上了火车，三个微软的职员挤进了一个卫生间，而三个苹果的工程师也挤进了附近的另一个卫生间。就在火车刚刚开动，一个苹果的工程师迅速离开了他所在的卫生间，径直来到微软职员躲藏的卫生间门外。他敲了敲门，说道：“请拿出车票。”
They all boarded the train, the three Microsoft clerks squeezed themselves into a restroom, and the three Apple engineers also squeezed themselves into another restroom. As soon as the train started, one of the Apple engineers quickly came out of his restroom and went to the restroom where the Microsoft clerks were hiding. He knocked on the door and said, “Ticket, please.”
