推荐个挺有意思的小故事,
Do You Know My Work?
One night a hotel caught fire,and the people who were staying in it ran out in their night clothes.
Two men stood outside and looked at the fire.
“Before I came out,” said one,“I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. People don't think of money when they're afraid. When anyone leaves paper money in a fire,the fire burns it. So I took all the bills that I could find.No one will be poorer because I took them.”
“You don't know my work,” said the other.
“What is your work?”
“I'm a policeman.
“Oh!” cried the first man. He thought quickly and said,“And do you know my work?”“No,”said the policeman.
“I'm a writer. I'm always telling stories about things that never happened.”
译文:
你知道我是干什么的吗?
一天晚上,一家旅馆失火,住在这家旅馆里的人穿着睡 衣就跑了出来.
两个人站在外面,看着大火.
“在我出来之前,”其中一个说:“我跑进一些房间,找到了一大笔钱.人在恐惧中是不会想到钱的.如果有人把纸币留在火里,火就会把它烧成灰烬.所以我把所能找到的钞票都拿走了.没有人会因为我拿走它们而变得更穷.”
“你不知道我是干什么的.”另一个说.
“你是干什么的?”
“我是警察.”
“噢!”第一个人喊了一声,灵机一动,说:“那你知道我是干什么的?”“不知道.”警察说.
“我是个作家.我总是爱编一些从未发生过的故事.”
