愚蠢的问题

张亚丽

[英语原文]

Stupid Question

Dan was the doorman of a club in a big city. Everyday， thousands of people passed his door， and a lot of them stopped and asked him， "Whats the time， please？"

After a few months， Dan said to himself， "Im not going to answer all those stupid people any more. Im going to buy a big clock and put it upon the wall here." Then he did so.

“Now people arent going to stop and ask me the time，" he thought happily.

But after that， a lot of people stopped， looked at the clock and then asked Dan， "Is that clock right？”

[漢语翻译]

丹在一个大城市的某个俱乐部当守门人。每天都有数千人经过他的门口，而且许多人都会停下来问他：“请问现在几点？”

几个月后，丹想：“我不想再回答这些蠢人提出的问题了，我要去买一只大钟，把它挂在这儿的墙上。”于是他买了一只钟，把它挂在了墙上。

“现在人们不会再停下来问我时间了。”他高兴地想。

可是打那以后，每天仍有许多人停下来，看看钟，然后问丹：“这钟准吗？”

生活就是这样，你不知道明天会发生什么。正是因为未来的不可知，这才有期待的美好。但是，为了迎接美好的未来，我们在平时就要努力学习，打好基础，未来发生的事情才会变得美好。（小博士）
