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?
丹在一個(gè)大城市的某個(gè)俱樂(lè)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?
