The fact of an agreement is not sufficient to establish the fairness of the terms.

协议的存在并不能确保条款的公平性
I read some years ago of a case

几年前我在报纸上看到
in Chicago there was an elderly widow,

芝加哥有个年迈的寡妇
an 84-year-old widow named Rose

84岁了名叫罗斯
who had a problem in her apartment with a leaky toilet

她遇到点小麻烦公寓的马桶漏水了
and she signed a contract with an unscrupulous contractor,

然后她和一个黑心承包商签了合同
who offered to repair her leaky toilet in exchange for $50,000.

对方开了五万美元的修理费
But she had agreed she was of sound mind,

她竟然同意了她头脑清醒
maybe terribly naive and unfamiliar with the price of plumbing,

也许太过天真也不熟悉管道工的价格
she had made this agreement.

她签了份协议
Luckily, it was discovered.

幸运的是有人发现了
She went to the bank and asked to withdraw $25,000.

她到银行要取两万五千美元
