雙語笑話：微軟和通用

MS vs GM

Bill Gates wanted to look good and impress everyone with his success．He decided to measure the accomplishments of Microsoft against General Motors．The comparison went like this：If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades，you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8，and it would have a top speed of 10，000 miles per hour （160，000km/hr）．Or you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds （14 kilos） and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas．In either case the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50．In response to all this goading，GM responds：“Yes，but would you really want to drive a car that crashes four times a day？”

微軟和通用

比爾·蓋茨希望每個(gè)人都對(duì)他的成功留下深刻的印象。于是他決定拿微軟的成就與通用汽車公司相比較。比較如下：在過去的幾十年里如果汽車技術(shù)能夠像計(jì)算機(jī)技術(shù)發(fā)展得那么快的話，你現(xiàn)在駕駛的車型將是v-32，而不是V-8，它的最高時(shí)速將是每小時(shí)10，000英里（160，000公里/小時(shí)）。你可能擁有一輛經(jīng)濟(jì)型轎車，它自重只有30磅（14公斤），每千英里耗油才一加侖。無論哪種車型，標(biāo)價(jià)都可能不到50美元。為了回應(yīng)這種抨擊，通用公司答復(fù)道：“確實(shí)如此，但難道您希望駕駛的汽車每天死機(jī)四次？”
