12 我看不到
An Irishman was once serving in a regiment in thedesert. He wasn't fond of the climate of the warzone. The temperature sometimes was about 40degrees centigrade, so he decided to think out a trickby which he could get home.
有個愛爾蘭人在沙漠中的部隊服兵役,他不喜歡戰(zhàn)地的氣候,那兒氣候又是會超過40攝氏度。于是他決定想個法子回家。
He went to the doctor and said to him, "I have adisease of the eye. My eyesight is very bad. Can youdo me a service?"
他去看醫(yī)生,對醫(yī)生說:“我眼睛有毛病,我視力太差了,你能幫助我嗎?”
The doctor stared at him for a while and then asked, "Well, but how can you prove to me thatyour eyesight is bad?"
醫(yī)生看了他一會兒說:“好的,你怎么能證明你的視力差呢?”
The Irishman looked about the room and at last said, "Well, doctor, can you see that nail on theceiling?"
這個愛爾蘭人看了看房間最后說道:“呃,醫(yī)生,你能看到天花板上的那個釘子嗎?”
"Yes," the doctor glanced at that black dot overhead, then replied.
“是的,”醫(yī)生掃了一眼頭頂?shù)哪莻€小黑點說。
"Well," said the Irishman, "But I can't."
“哦,”這個愛爾蘭人說,“我卻看不到。”
