你是第五條
A man saw a fisherman standing in the lake with amirror. "Excuse me," he said. "What are you doing?"
有個(gè)人看到漁夫拿著一面鏡子站在湖里。“請(qǐng)問(wèn),”他說(shuō),“你在干什么?”
"Fishing," the fisherman replied.
“釣魚(yú)。”漁夫回答。
"With a mirror?" the man asked, in surprise.
“用鏡子?”那個(gè)人吃驚地問(wèn)。
"Sure--it's a new invention. I am going to make afortune."
“當(dāng)然了!這是個(gè)新發(fā)明。我要賺一大筆錢(qián)了!”
"Could you tell how it works?"
“你能告訴我怎么釣的嗎?”
"Okay, but it will cost you $10."
“好吧。不過(guò)你得交十塊錢(qián)。”
To satisfy his curiosity, the man handed the fisherman the money. "Now show me how itworks," he said.
為了滿(mǎn)足自己的好奇心,那個(gè)人給了漁夫錢(qián)。“現(xiàn)在示范給我看吧。”他說(shuō)。
"Well," the fisherman began, "you aim the mirror into the water, and when a fish goes by, youstartle him with rays of light reflected from the mirror. The fish gets confused and then yougrab it."
“好的。”漁夫開(kāi)始了。“你把鏡子對(duì)著湖水,魚(yú)過(guò)來(lái)的時(shí)候,你就用鏡子反射的光來(lái)嚇?biāo)?。魚(yú)迷糊了,你就抓住它了。”
The man was greatly surprised. "Don't tell me how you fish. It's ridiculous! How many haveyou caught?"
那個(gè)人很吃驚地說(shuō)道:“你不要說(shuō)你怎么釣魚(yú)了。無(wú)稽之談!你釣了多少了?”
"You are the fifth today!" replied the fisherman with a smile.
“今天你是第五條!”漁夫笑著回答。
