英語故事：只治“外”科
There was a doctor who claimed to be good at treating surgical1 cases.
One day, a general was struck by an arrow from the enemy on the battlefield. The arrow had penetrated2 into his flesh, so he called for the "surgeon".
The general told him what had happened. The "surgeon" said repeatedly: "The treatment is easy! The treatment is easy!"
He took up a pair of sharp scissors, and with a snap cut off the exposed arrow shaft3. He handed over the arrow shaft to the general and said: "It's done. Please give me my pay."
These words left the general not knowing whether to laugh or to cry. He said to the "surgeon": "The arrow head is still in my flesh. You must get it out quickly."
The "surgeon" said: "The arrow head in the flesh is a matter of internal medicine and has nothing to do with my 'surgery'.
有位醫(yī)生，自稱擅長治療外科疾病。
一天，有位武將在戰(zhàn)場上中了敵人的飛箭，箭頭穿進(jìn)了皮肉。他命人請來了這位“外科”醫(yī)生。
武將把情況對這位“外科”醫(yī)生一講，他連聲說：“好治!好治!”
只見他拿起一把鋒利的剪刀，“咔嚓”一聲，把露在皮膚外面的箭桿剪掉了。他就把箭桿交給武將，說：“好了，請你付酬金吧!”
武將被他弄得哭笑不得，對“外科”醫(yī)生說：“箭頭還留在皮肉里面，必須趕快取出來呀!
這位“外科”醫(yī)生說：“箭頭在皮肉里面，這是內(nèi)科的事了，與我‘外科’無關(guān)。”
