Drunk

One day， a father and his little son were going home. At this age， the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions. Now， he asked， "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk'， dad？" "Well， my son，" his father replied， "look， there are standing two policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk."

"But， dad，" the boy said， " there's only ONE policeman！"

醉酒

一天，父亲与小儿子一道回家。这个孩子正处于那种对什么事都很感兴趣的年龄，老是有提不完的问题。他向父亲发问道：“爸爸，‘醉字是什么意思？”“唔，孩子，”父亲回答说，“你瞧那儿站着两个警察。如果我把他们看成了四个，那么我就算醉了。”“可是，爸爸，”孩子说，“那儿只有一个警察呀！”

Stupid Question

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？”

愚蠢的问题

丹在一个大城市的某个俱乐部当守门人。每天都有数千人经过他的门口，而且许多人都会停下来问他：“请问现在几点？”

几个月后，丹想：“我不想再回答这些蠢人提出的问题了，我要去买一只大钟，把它挂在这儿的墙上。”于是他买了一只钟，把它挂在了墙上。

“现在人们总不会再停下来问我时间了。”他高兴地想。

可是打那以后，每天仍有许多人停下来，看看钟，然后问丹：“这钟准吗？”

A Businessman's Idea

A family moved from the city to the suburbs， and were told they ought to get a watchdog to guard their house.

So they bought the largest dog available from a near-by dealer1.

Shortly afterwards the house was broken into at night by burglars while the dog was asleep. The householder went to the dealer and told him about it.

"Well， what you need now，" said the dealer， "is a little dog to wake up the dog."

商人的主意

一户人家从城里搬到郊区，有人告诉他们应该买一条看门狗来守家。

于是他们就去附近的一个商人那里买了一条最大的狗。

不久之后，夜贼闯进他们家时那条狗却一直在睡觉。这家的主人去找那个商人告诉他这件事。

“那么，”商人说，“你们现在还需要一条小狗来叫醒这条狗。”

The Wind

Who has seen the wind？

Neither I nor you；

But when the leaves hang trembling，

The wind is passing through.

风

谁曾见过风的面孔？

谁也没见过，不论你或我；

但在树叶轻摇之际，

风正从那里吹过。

liquid midnight

By tenth_muse， Wheaton， IL

skip wishes like stones

across the midnight sky； wait

patiently for day.

透明如水的子夜

第十位缪斯（网名，美国伊利诺伊州惠顿市）

把一个个愿望的石子

打过子夜的天空，

耐心等待那白昼的降临。

A Brainy Quote： The Starry Heavens Above Me

Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe， the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them： the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me. -Immanuel Kant （22 April 1724 12 February 1804）
