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.
有人出价吗？啊，好，我们的竞价开始了，具有冒险精神的前宇航员巴克·威廉斯出价25000美元。还有其他人出价吗?谢谢您，先生，您的报价是30000美元。现在著名的运动员卡尔·里普金出价35000美元。好的，先生，38000美元。还有人出价吗？好，威廉斯再次出价40000美元。还有其他人出价吗?里普金先生，您已经得到了你想要的东西。您以42000美元的价格拍得了这幅地图。我觉得您购买这幅地图有些不对称。我以为威廉斯先生会想增加他的收藏，但是我猜是您的竞争特性使您这次击败了他。但这并不是一次看谁最能竞争的试演，威廉斯先生。恭喜您!现在让我们来看下一件拍卖品吧。
