愚蠢的問(wèn)題

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, "What's the time, please?"

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

“Now people aren't 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?”

愚蠢的問(wèn)題

丹在一個(gè)大城市的某個(gè)俱樂部當(dāng)守門人。每天都有數(shù)千人經(jīng)過(guò)他的門口，而且許多人都會(huì)停下來(lái)問(wèn)他:“請(qǐng)問(wèn)現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)?”

幾個(gè)月后，丹想:“我不想再回答這些蠢人提出的問(wèn)題了，我要去買一只大鐘，把它掛在這兒的墻上。”于是他買了一只鐘，把它掛在了墻上。

“現(xiàn)在人們總不會(huì)再停下來(lái)問(wèn)我時(shí)間了。”他高興地想。

可是打那以后，每天仍有許多人停下來(lái)，看看鐘，然后問(wèn)丹:“這鐘準(zhǔn)嗎?”
