　　原文如下

　　KnowingthatNoelwasexpandinghisroadmakingbusiness,KenofferedtosellNoelagraderfor$14,000.Noelrepliedthathewouldbuythegrader,butonlyfor$12,000andonlyifitpassedamechanicalinspection.Kenwashappytoallowthemachinetobeexaminedbutwouldnotsellforlessthan$14,000.Noelfinallyrangandsaid:‘Ifyouwillnottake$12,000IguessIhadbettergotothefull$14,000.’Kenhasbeentoldthatthelocalcouncilwillpayhim$15,000andnowhedoesnotwishtosellthegradertoKen.

　　Can

　　KenselltothecouncilandnottoNoel?

　　大意是卖方提出机器要卖14000,买方提出机器通过检查愿意用12000买下,卖方同意检查但是要14000才卖,最后买方同意14000的这个价格,卖方说政府愿意给他15000买这些机器所以就不想卖给买方了.

　　问题是卖方可以卖给政府而不是买方吗?

　　注：offer：由一方提出来另外一个有法律约束力的承诺
