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(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?”
