這個故事是關(guān)于另外5個醫(yī)生的故事,一天他們?nèi)ゴ蛞傍?,這五個醫(yī)生包括一個全科醫(yī)生、一個兒科醫(yī)生、一個精神病醫(yī)生、一個外科醫(yī)生和病理學(xué)家。
A:Look,a bird is coming winging overhead.
看,一只鳥在頭頂飛過。
B:Why did you raise your shotgun and then hesitate?
你為什么舉起槍又猶豫了呢?
A:I am not quite sure it's a duck,I think that I will have to get a second opinion,but the bird was long gone.
我不敢肯定那是不是鴨子,我想我必須聽聽另一醫(yī)生的診斷意見。但這時鳥飛走了。
B:Look!Another duck.
看!另一只鴨子。
C:Why don't you shoot at it?
你為什么不打它?
B:(Muttering ) I am also unsure if it is really a duck in my sight and besides,it might have babies,I'll have to do some more investiga- dons.
(喃喃自語)我也不能肯定那是不是鴨子。并且那只鳥可能還懷著小鳥,我必須作進(jìn)一步調(diào)查。
C:But the creature make good its escape.
但是那家伙從容不迫地逃脫了。
Next to spy a bird flying was the sharp-eyed psychiatrist.Shotgun shouldered,he was more certain of his intended prey's identity.
然后,是眼尖的精神病醫(yī)生看到了飛鳥。用肩頂住槍托,他比其他人更清楚自己瞄準(zhǔn)的獵物是什么。
D:Why do you hesitate since you know it is a duek?
既然你知道那是只鴨子你還猶豫什么?
C:Now,I know it's a duck,but does it know it's a duck?
是啊,現(xiàn)在我知道那是只鴨子,可它自己知道嗎?
Finally,a fourth fowl sped past and this time the surgeon's weapon pointed sky wards. BOOM!The surgeon lowered his smoking gun and turned nonchalantly to the pathologist beside him.
最后,第四只鴨子快速地飛過。這次是外科醫(yī)生把獵槍對準(zhǔn)了天空。“嘣”一聲槍響,外科醫(yī)生放下槍口還在冒煙的獵槍,扭過頭,面無表情地對身邊的病理學(xué)家說。
D:Good to see if that was a duck,will you?
去看看那是不是一只野鴨,可以嗎?
