205 A Real Winner 真正的贏家
One resident of our retirement center loved to talk politics. Following the election, I asked him if he'd picked a winner. “Well,” he casually replied, “the man I voted for lost.” “You seem pretty calm about it,” I said. “That's because the man I bet on won.”
我們退休中心的一名住客喜歡談論政治。投票的第二天,我問他選的人是不是勝了。他漫不經(jīng)心地回答:“我投票選的人敗了。”我說:“你看來挺心平氣和的。”他說:“那是因為我打賭的那個人勝了。”
