Chinese Version Chinese Version

不久他就有了一条线索：那位男士买香草冰淇淋比买其他味道的冰淇淋所花的时间要少。为什么呢答案在于商店的布局。

香草冰淇淋是最受欢迎的味道，它放在商品前面一个单独的柜子里便于顾客选购。所有其他味道的冰淇淋则放在商店后面另一个柜台里，买这些味道的冰淇淋结账离开花的时间要长得多。现在对这位工程师来说，问题是为什么花费的时间较少时汽车无法启动。

Notes

All the other favors were kept in the back of the store at a different counter

where it took considerably longer to check out the flavor.

所有其他味道的冰淇淋则放在商店后面另一个柜台里，买这些味道的冰淇淋结账离开花的时间要长得多。

本句中的where it took considerably longer to check out the flavor是定语从句，语法上修饰 a different counter，但语义上则进一步说明在另一个柜台挑选口味、结账离开需要的时间要长得多。
